Description:
------------
When a interface extends it's self, it will cause PHP to crash when reflective language features such as instanceOf, is_a are used on objects that implement the recursive interface.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

interface RecurisiveFooFar extends RecurisiveFooFar {}
class A implements RecurisiveFooFar {}

$a = new A();
var_dump($a instanceOf A);

?>

Expected result:
----------------
Something like ...

Fatal Error: interface can not extend it's self on line __LINE__ in __FILE__

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Crashes. Apache log shows this activity.
