Research direction
Start with Zend/zend_execute_API.c at line 701 and reproduce the report using the provided recursive PHP example in test.php and the listed CLI options. Trace the failing zend_op access under the supplied sanitizer configuration, then verify that running the same reproducer no longer reports the misaligned-address error.
