coz the zendlex() function is recursive for some cases, it's quite easy dumping zend core.

e.g, just repeat the comments enough times on the following script (i did it 500,000 times but may less is nedded):
<? /**/ /**/ /*....... /**/ ?>


is this consider a bug?

Yes, that patch makes it not to crash anymore.
If there aren't any side-effects of it..commit? :)
