 [2001-05-30 11:19 UTC] flying at dom dot natm dot ru 
Environment:
 - Windows 2000 Server
 - Apache v1.3.19
 - PHP v4.0.5 (Win32 binaries from www.php.net)

Following script falls with error message:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare innerfunc() in test.php line 4

-----------------------------------------------
<?php
function outerFunc()
{
    function innerFunc()
    {
        echo "Into innerFunc()<br>";
    }
    echo "Entering outerFunc()<br>";
    innerFunc();
    echo "Leaving outerFunc()<br>";
};

outerFunc();
outerFunc();
?>
-----------------------------------------------

Crash appears at second function call. 

Bug is 100% reproducible in PHP v4.0.4 and v4.0.5

not a bug. You can't redeclare functions.
(you're calling outerFunc() twice)

So, it means that you have a bug in documentation in this case.
 Here is a small piece of text from functions.html:

-----------------------
Any valid PHP code may appear inside a function, even <b>other functions</b> and class definitions.
