php.exe crashes on infinite recursion (PHP 5.3.5)

Hello PHP dev crew, The screenshot of the crash is in the attachment. The problem is easily reproducible, just make a PHP function call itself. I think the stack grows too big and the php interpreter crashes inside the MSVCRT.dll. Maybe it could be handled with more grace? I feel that high level language interpreter should not crash its process whatever I do in the php code. Throwing a stack overflow / memory exausted exception would make it much easier to debug.
