Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

It's expected, due the call stack overflow.

I expect the same from __call as from a normal method which abort with a fatal 
error.

<?php

class foo {
    public function bar() {
        $this->bar();
    }
}

$foo = new foo();
$foo->bar();

PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to 
allocate 130968 bytes) in - on line 5
