A php script which call posix_getpwnam/posix_getpwuid will cause segmentation fault if included too deep in include stack.

If the parameter passed to these 2 functions not a valid system user name/id, then error will not occur. SEG FAULT appears only called with valid user name/id.

Other posix related functions don't have this problem.

Couldn't reproduce it. Please try latest CVS and if it still crashes, please provide reproducing script and backtrace, if possible.
