I'm using PHP 4.1.0 on Windows 98 with no DLL-Extensions loaded.

Accidently I wrote a class method that called itself instead of an other
method:

function getText($id)
{
...
return $text; // A valid string
}

function getHTML($id)
{
return htmlentities($this->getHTML($id)); // Here is my misstake: Should
be getText() instead getHTML()
}

This code causes my Apache/1.3.20 (Win32) to crash. Okay, it's my
misstake as programmer but should a wrong code be able to crash the
server???

Thank you guys, you do a great job!
