I wrote a class with a function to add a key to an assoziative array. Unfortunately, I got an infinite loop when changing function names. Therefore, I got a segmentation fault in apache. The function looks like this:

function setAttribute($name, $value) {
	if (array_key_exists($name, $this->cfgAttributes) && trim($value)) {
		return $this->setAttribute($this->cfgAttributes[$name], $this->encode($value));
	} else return false;
}

The reproducible segmentation fault looks like:

#0  0x400f4ae5 in chunk_free () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x400f49a3 in free () from /lib/libc.so.6

#14 0x08064b3c in main ()

I solved the problem because it was only a spelling mistake, but php should not produce a segmentation fault, does not it?
