I've just experience that error during debug on production environment. I've used
it with debug_backtrace() var_export(debug_backtrace(), true) ... it outputs all
information on the screen before nesting level error.

Description:
------------
When calling var_export() on a recursive array, with the 'return' parameter set to true, a
partial var_exported string is echoed and then a fatal error is raised.
A more correct handling should be to just raise the php fatal error, not output the partial string.
(sensitive data might be accidentally shown, for example)
Test script:
---------------
$recursive = array();
$recursive[] = &$recursive;
$test = var_export($recursive, true);
Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in test.php on line x
Actual result:
--------------
array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array (
Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in test.php on line x
