This is a "normal" stackoverflow due to infinite recursion - $GLOBALS includes $a so $a's debugInfo is called over and over again.

Try to execute var_dump($GLOBALS); See how it crash? No?

johannes, var_dump correctly detects recursion in every other case. I don't see why it shouldn't be able to when __debugInfo is used too.
