Just checked with gdb and it seems that this indeed only happens if the stack is resized.

Description:
------------
The following code:

call_user_func_array(function(&$a) {}, $array = array_fill(0, 16334, "*"));

Produces this output:

Warning: Parameter 1 to {closure}() expected to be a reference, value given in Command line code on

If you do some more stuff after the call PHP will eventually segfault.

This only happens if the *first* argument of the callback is by-ref and only happens after a certain
number of arguments (for me it starts with 16334). That's why I guess that this has something
to do with http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_TRUNK/Zend/zend_execute_API.c#862
(i == 0 => branch not entered) and http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_TRUNK/Zend/zend_execute_API.c#851
(as it is only for large argument numbers).
