Warning: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in Unknown on line 0

That error shows several times during the make test part of the install. During the install the ./configure... and make does ok with no errors. Then doing a make test fails on almost every test it performs. If I continue to do a make install afterwards it breaks the server down so that most to all sites using php do not work. I have verified this with the latest stable release, 4.3.0-dev, 4.3.0RC2, 4.3.0RC3, and now 4.3.0RC4. Right now I am running 4.2.4-dev and is working fine. I have also tried a few different configure commands to hopefully resolve this issue but with no luck.

Current configure...
'./configure' 'i386-redhat-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-bz2' '--with-db3' '--with-curl' '--with-dom=/usr' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-gd-dir=/home/instkit/gd-2.0.4' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-ttf' '--with-gdbm' '--with-gettext=shared' '--with-ncurses' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--with-pear' '--with-png' '--with-pspell-dir=/usr' '--with-regex=system' '--with-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp=shared' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem=shared' '--enable-sysvshm=shared' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--without-oci8' '--with-imap=shared' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos' '--with-ldap=shared' '--with-mysql=shared,/usr' '--with-pgsql=shared' '--with-snmp=shared,/usr' '--with-snmp=shared' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-unixODBC=shared' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-dio' '--enable-mcal' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--disable-experimental-zts' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs'

Have also tried...

Well I have also tried using 4.4.0-dev and same issue. Now if I delete or move my original php.ini file and run I get one error still and it causes the same problem. If I install it any site using php fails. The error i get using make test if I delete the php.ini file is....

I've also experienced this problem with the release version of PHP 4.3.0 on Redhat 7.2

My configure string is as follows

'./configure' 'i386-redhat-linux' '--prefix=/usr' '--exec-prefix=/usr' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--sbindir=/usr/sbin' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--datadir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--libdir=/usr/lib' '--libexecdir=/usr/libexec' '--localstatedir=/var' '--sharedstatedir=/usr/com' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--prefix=/usr' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--disable-debug' '--enable-pic' '--disable-rpath' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--with-bz2' '--with-db3' '--with-curl' '--with-dom=/usr' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/bin' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr' '--with-png-dir=/usr' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--with-ttf' '--with-gdbm' '--with-gettext=shared' '--with-ncurses' '--with-gmp' '--with-iconv-dir=/usr' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr' '--with-openssl' '--with-pear' '--with-png' '--with-pspell-dir=/usr' '--with-regex=system' '--with-xml' '--with-expat-dir=/usr' '--with-zlib' '--with-layout=GNU' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-debugger' '--enable-exif' '--enable-ftp=shared' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-sysvsem=shared' '--enable-sysvshm=shared' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-trans-sid' '--enable-yp' '--enable-wddx' '--without-oci8' '--with-imap=shared' '--with-imap-ssl' '--with-kerberos=/usr/kerberos' '--with-ldap=shared' '--with-mysql=/usr' '--with-pgsql=shared' '--with-snmp=shared,/usr' '--with-snmp=shared' '--enable-ucd-snmp-hack' '--with-unixODBC=shared' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-bcmath' '--enable-shmop' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-calendar' '--enable-dbx' '--enable-dio' '--enable-mcal' '--enable-mbstring' '--enable-mbstr-enc-trans' '--disable-experimental-zts' '--with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs'

The failed test was incorrect and is no longer present in 4.3.0. The other problem maybe due to the fact that your php.ini directives tell php to load shared extensions that are now either compiled into PHP core or were compiled for previous versions. This could resolve in all kinds of erroneous behaviour. Check your php.ini for the extensions you load dynamically and try to determine which one (or more) is reponsible.
