Description:
------------
I am using PHP CLI on SuSE Linux 9.2 and the following code produces a
segmentation fault calling the php file with "/usr/bin/php test.php".
The element "$xml->unknown" used for calling the function iterate()
does not really exist.

It seems the function "sxe_find_element_by_name()" in "simplexml.c"
returns a null pointer for "orgnode" and then "orgnode->children" is a
very dangerous access (see backtrace).

configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/php5
--with-apxs2=/usr/sbin/apxs2 --with-libxml-dir=/usr/lib --with-zlib
--with-zlib-dir=/usr/lib --with-mysql=/usr/bin/mysql --with-gd
--enable-sockets --with-gettext=/usr/bin/gettext
--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/bin --with-png-dir=/usr/lib
--with-freetype-dir=/usr/lib

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

function iterate($xml)
{
    print_r($xml);
    foreach ($xml->item as $item) {
        echo "This code will crash!";
    }
}

$xmlstr = "<xml><item>Item 1</item><item>Item 2</item></xml>";
$xml = simplexml_load_string($xmlstr);
iterate($xml->unknown);

?>


Expected result:
----------------
Error or warning but not a segmentation fault.

Actual result:
--------------
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
