Just let me to get to your box with that lovely hammer of mine, and we'll
talk about "if it crashes, it can be fixed" ;)
Seriously, there are conditions of which PHP is unable to recover as of
now. Two known are "no memory" and "no stack" conditions. There's no good
way on Unix to gracefully recover from this condition, without generally
slowing down execution. If you know such a way, you are welcome to propose
it.
