if you run a loop with a typing error such as the following where $j is not defined the system goes into a infinite loop and causes the shutdown of all running services.

for ($i = 0; $i < $numrows; ++$j){
  # something
}

Not really a bug but shouldn't we get a timeout error here ?

Like you said, not really a bug. 
You can also shoot yourself in your foot but is it wise? :)

This is very common problem, and to keep PHP as fast as
it is there won't be any changes in this in the near
future.
