Description:
------------
I know it's wrong to try to instantiate a class within it's own constructor,
yet I thought that I should report the crashing of the php interpreter.
Perhaps this case may expose an area of the interpreter that may cause other problems.

Here is a sample script.

<?php class a {function __construct(){new a();}} new a(); # - kills php ?>


Here is the message produced (with php 5.3.2):

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 261904 bytes) in M:\workspace\html\directAbrasives\lib\t.php on line 1


Here is my php version:

PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Mar  3 2010 20:47:01) 
Copyright (c) 1997-2010 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v2.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 Zend Technologies


Running this code on PHP 5.2 didn't generate any message at all.

Also, I tried a catching exceptions, yet it appears that none are thrown in this case.

I am operating on WindowsXP.


Cheers.
