Include()ing a file that Include()s itself - ie, a recusive 
Include() - will completely crash a system.  Not just the 
web server, it ran my box out of swap in a few seconds 
and required a power cycle.  

Could we get some sanity checking on this?  I had a 
web designer's *typo* bring a ssytem to its knees.

First of all, you probably need to use resource limits. Second, you have include_once for this - use it.
