Description:
------------
when trying to combine thousands of strings using concatenation operator ('.'), httpd crash.

like:
https://github.com/laminas/laminas-validator/blob/master/src/Hostname/Biz.php
https://github.com/laminas/laminas-validator/blob/master/src/Hostname/Cn.php

the php package was downloaded directly from https://windows.php.net/downloads/releases/php-7.3.15-Win32-VC15-x64.zip

apache version: 2.4.37 on windows with wampserver 3.1.7 64bit.
crash on 7.2.14 / 7.3.9 / 7.3.15, not on 5.6.40 as I tested.
crash on apache, not cli.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

Just going by the description, I'd assume this is a stack overflow in the compiler due to a very deeply nested AST.

Could be addressed by converting concat into a list node with some special handling, not sure if that's worth the bother.

This should be fixed with stack checking issue as of PHP 8.3. If you can still recreate it on PHP 8.3+, please open a new issue.
