Confused on the status of a "bogus" bug report

With reference to: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=40067 I'm confused as to why this was marked bogus, and the message that marked as such doesn't give much insight. It would seem to me that infinite recursion within PHP is a bug. Shouldn't the interpreter catch this sort of thing before it coredumps? Or is the design philosophy for PHP different than that? If anyone can point me to a online explanation for this or other resource, I'd be happy to read up a bit. More than happy to understand why I'm wrong, but right now I feel as if this problem is getting the brush-off. -- Bill Moran Collaborative Fusion Inc.
