probably the var_dump()'s problem is in its roots.

Hi After looking at the source for possible fix for the var_dump()'s crash (fixed few minutes by Yasuo) I realized that it may be possible to change HASH_PROTECT_RECURSION macro and instead of if ((ht)->nApplyCount++ >= 3) to change to if ((ht)->nApplyCount++ >= 1) Ok. The var_dump() is fixed but I think that there are maybe other places where this problem can take place. ...and I've just tried that : <?php $other = &$GLOBALS; if ($other ==$GLOBALS) echo "Success"; ?> and I php crashed with : Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in c:\apache\htdocs\ad.php on line 3 So, the problem can occur in : 1)zend_hash_apply() 2)zend_hash_apply_with_argument() 3)zend_hash_apply_with_arguments() 4)zend_hash_reverse_apply() 5)zend_hash_compare() - my example uses this The easy fix is to change from E_ERROR to E_WARNING and to lower 3 to 1. I'm not sure what will be the BC impact of these changes. May be the problem is deeper and has to be investigated. Best regards, Andrey Hristov
