Should PHP detect a stack overflow, because at the moment it doesn't - the script... <?php function foo() { foo() } foo(); ?> Will seg-fault PHP, which I guess makes it possible for anyone to kill it off with a bit of effort. And for the leet of you out there - the following script is the shortest one we've found to do this with :P (A friend and I were looking for the shortest PHP script that will run, but crash... <? function foo(){foo();}foo(); ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18909&edit=1
