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 reason is stack overflow, not php issues, but fyi, you can install xdebug to prevent this.

Test script: --------------- <?php function f() { call_user_func("f"); } f(); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 523800 bytes) in /Users/charlie/crap/notsegfault.php on line 4 Actual result: -------------- Segmentation fault ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=60682&edit=1
