Yes, but since it leads to spurious faults, I believe that it would pay to add memory wall trashing to PHP when built in debug mode, so that everybody that is using PHP could report when those problems where found so they can be reported to each person that is responsible of the faulty code. I think PHP could get more useful testing and more people could report those bugs if that code is built-in PHP, don't you think so?
