To reproduce a problem create a script, named
1.php.
--- begin of the 1.php ---
<?                                                                              
 echo ".";                                                                      
 require("1.php");

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

<Patient> Doctor! It hurts when I do this!
<Doctor> Then don't do that.

Crashing php or webserver in default installation by script from 1 line is not a bug?
 [2005-02-03 20:12 UTC] samm at os2 dot kiev dot ua
Also, i dont see any word in the documentation, which state that recursive require can crash apache/php.

This is a stack smash - PHP does not guard against this. Check the archives to find out why, as this was put here as a bug way too often already.
