Bug #10834 PHP will crash if you execute a double-include, which go through 2 directories

To reproduce it, create a php file (content doesn't matter), then make a directory and change into it. Create a second php file including the first one, make another directory and write a php file with an include to the second file into it. When you start this file, PHP begins to consume all available CPU und RAM resources. The consequence is a crash of the whole machine running the httpd- or php-process. The memory limiting function in PHP doesn't take effect in this case.

I could not reproduce this on Linux/PHP 4.0.6dev with the
following structure:

/include1.php
/1/include2.php
/2/test.php

test.php =
<?php
include ("../1/include2.php");
echo "test.php\n";
?>

include2.php =
<?php
include ("../include1.php");
echo "include2.php\n";
?>

include1.php =
<?php
echo "include1.php\n";
?>

Are you maybe doing a recursive include? Does using include_once (instead of include) works for you?
If these two options don't help you, please make a tar of your reproducing scripts, and mail them to me (derick at php dot net).

No feedback. Most likely case of recursive include.
