If you include the file is beeing parsed, either with __FILE__ or with the filename, apache (I just tested on apache and php 4.2.2) will crash.

<?php
include __FILE__;
?>

OR

<?php
// __FILE__ == 'test.php'; true
include 'test.php';
?>

result: Apache.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows... (and so on)

There are also many other ways to crash PHP like this.
This is called "Infinite recursion".
Not a bug.

Hmm... I tried another version of the infinite loop:

<?php
while (1) {
	$x++;
}
?>

And the result was just:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in d:\wwwroot\smeti\bug.php on line 3

So I think, that the same must happen with the include (infinite) recursion.

Nevermind... I tried with another infinite recursion:
<?php
function a() {
	b();
}
function b() {
	a();
}
a();
?>

And the same happend as the include recursion...

Hehe .. just incrementing an integer value doesn't overflow the stack while a recursive functionc all does.
