Description:
------------
I am seeing Apache crash upon saving a session.  This is reproducable in 5.0.5, 5.1.x and current snap.

PHP is configured as php.ini-recommended, but with:

curl, gd2 on
display errors on
correct session save path


Actual result:

Code to reproduce:

<?php
function r($a = array(), $l = 0)
{
        if ($l == 5) return;
        $a = array(0, 1);
        for ($i=0; $i<count($a); $i++)
                $a[$i] = r($a, $l+1);
        return $a;
}

session_name("foo");
session_start();

for ($i=0;$i<1000;$i++)
        $_SESSION['STUFF_'.$i] = r();

// Kills PHP
foreach ($_SESSION as $key => $value)
        unset($_SESSION[$key]);

// Works
//foreach (array_keys($_SESSION) as $key)
//      unset($_SESSION[$key]);
?>

You simply run out of memory and stack. No real bug here. 
free hint: Don't do that.
