Subject: Acceptable Seg Faults?
From: ralph@smashlabs.com (Ralph Schindler)

The following script produces a seg fault:

<?

$class = new MyClass();

class MyClass
{

     public function __construct()
     {
         $this->_start();
     }


     public function _start()
     {

         $this->_myCall();

     }

     public function _myCall()
     {
         $this->_start();
     }

}



I assume this is b/c its recursively diving into Class function/method 
calls and we are filling memory.. Is this detectable?  Should I file a 
bug report or is this known?  Ideally it would be nice to see a fatal 
error thrown, if this is indeed detectable.
