According to the code, this is required to prevent possible crash.

See:
	result = mcrypt_generic_init(pm->td, key_s, key_size, iv_s);

	/* If this function fails, close the mcrypt module to prevent crashes
	 * when further functions want to access this resource */
	if (result < 0) {
		zend_list_delete(Z_LVAL_P(mcryptind));

Description:
------------
Calling mcrypt_generic_init() with bad values changes the resource type
from mcrypt to Unknown.  It seems like what should happen is that the
resource type should remain the same and that mcrypt_generic_init should
simply do nothing.  Maybe output a warning (as it currently does) but
not change the resource type.

A bad call to curl_setopt(), for example, doesn't change the resource
type from curl to Unknown as demonstrated thusly:

<?php
$curl = curl_init();
@curl_setopt($curl);
var_dump($curl);
?>

Per that it doesn't seem like a bad call to mcrypt_generic_init() ought
to change anything either.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$mcrypt = @mcrypt_module_open(MCRYPT_DES, '', MCRYPT_MODE_ECB, '');
@mcrypt_generic_init($mcrypt, '', '');
var_dump($mcrypt);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
resource(4) of type (mcrypt)

Actual result:
--------------
resource(4) of type (Unknown)
