Answer 1

This is a bug in the symfony/var-dumper package when using PHP7.1. It was fixed in version 2.7.16, 2.8.9, 3.0.9 and 3.1.3. See the pull request: https://github.com/symfony/symfony/pull/19379

In my case, I needed to composer update my laravel framework packages, as my vendor directory copy of that package was at 2.7.9. (I'm using Laravel 5.1; later versions use 2.8 and 3.0 of symfony, which also had the bug)
