Here is the shortest script I can come up with that still causes a
crash:

$array = array(1);
$element = (object) array('a' => 1);
get_object_vars($element);
$array[] = $element;
print_r($array);

It's super subtle, you need to:

1) Use an array with a string key: array('a' => 1)
2) Cast it to an object and call get_object_vars() on the result.
3) Assign this cast object to an array with multiple elements.
4) Call print_r() on the resulting array.

If I remove any of these, the crash goes away. I can generate a
backtrace if you can't reproduce this on your machine.
