This fix doesn't seem like changing anything but thanks to it, PHP 5.3.3 stops segfaulting.

Tests started failing after merging #8285. However, it's not the change which made them failing (the change is totally unrelated to the segfaulting test case). I suspect it has something to do with memory management in the early PHP 5.3 versions. We've had this kind of failures in the past.
