Segmentation fault on GMagick Image destruction

[ptrofimov]

Here is the code:

$imagine = new \Imagine\Gmagick\Imagine;

$image = $imagine->open('image.jpg');
$image = $imagine->open('image.jpg');

gc_collect_cycles();

Trying to run garbage collection, script fails with the error "Segmentation fault (core dumped)". As I learned, to prevent this, we need to remove destructor from Imagine\GMagick\Image class and clear resources manually.

PHP 5.5.14 (cli) (built: Jun 27 2014 15:36:26), gmagick version => 1.1.7RC2

As I see, this bug is quite old: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=63677

If you handle more than one image with Imagine GMagick, in order to prevent segmentation fault, you need to call $image->__destruct() (with this fix #349) manually after using. Before GC makes it for you!
