ID: 46754 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: kalle@php.net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: * PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php Infinite recursion crashes, and always has. This should work in PHP 5.3 though, as we don't generally use stack for recursion anymore.
