I expected an out of memory error or something similar but instead I got a segmentation fault when executing the following script:

<?php

function foo()
{
        foo();
}

foo();

?>

$ php foo.php 
zsh: 20003 segmentation fault  php foo.php

Gdb output, the backtrace was huge so I only included the first 10 lines:

Program received signal EXC_BAD_ACCESS, Could not access memory.

Search the older reports before reporting, there might be
someone that have repotred it earlier (in this case a zillion
times). This won't be fixed.
