Description:
------------
When creating a error function which has a parameter with an reference, php will create an endless loop in calling itself (i think). 
The proces keeps running and will not stop.
You can blog up a windows machine running under iis/cgi because it doesn't react on set_time_limit().
I've seen this problem in php 4.x and 5.x under windows and in linux on a dual system. Linux with a single cpu seemed not to have this problem (?)
(I'm using an additional parameter to my error function because of custom calling of the function)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?

function customErrorHandler($fErrNo,$fErrStr,$fErrFile,$fErrLine,&$fClass) {

    echo "error :".$fErrStr;

}



set_time_limit(5);

error_reporting(E_ALL);

set_error_handler("customErrorHandler");



define("TEST",2);

//should return a notice that the constant is already defined

define("TEST",3);

?>



Expected result:
----------------
There should be a notice about the redefined "TEST" define

Actual result:
--------------
An endless loop.

With recent CVS checkout I got it to crash with this backtrace (same with both 4 & 5):
