Description:
------------
Yes, I've been so stupid to do that.
(I thought ../ could be relative to the file
being included rather than the file being executed.)

However, triggering a segmentation fault isn't the
nicest way out of that. How does php deal with VERY
big sources?

Reproduce code:
---------------
somedir/subdir/example.php:

   require("../common.inc");

somedir/common.inc:

   require("../common.inc");


Expected result:
----------------
Fatal: out of memory

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation Fault (core dumped)
