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.

Closed due to missing user feedback.
