Description:
------------
In PHP 5, zend_fetch_debug_backtrace() checks if the current execute data is NULL before attempting to access fields on that structure.

PHP 7's implementation of zend_fetch_debug_backtrace() includes some new code that accesses execute data fields without proper checks, thereby making it possible for the function to segfault if EG(current_execute_data) is NULL.

Not sure about that, if there is no active_execute_data, then it must not in execution.. then maybe this fucntion should not be called at all

however, add a protection in such a not-common used function, seems is also okey. :)

I tend to agree (and have added a check to my own code to stop that), but since this was a safe operation in PHP 5 and isn't in PHP 7, I think we should fix it before the final release.
