Description:
------------
Segmentation fault when serializing multidimentional recursive arrays. The code below works fine with 4.3.11 (again on FC4).
When the argument is passend by reference (which is deprecated):
print_r(unserialize(serialize(&$arr1)));
it is fine. 
Or passing a reference:
print_r(unserialize(serialize($ref=&$arr1)));
also works.
No problem with serializing just $arr1[0]=&$arr;


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$arr1[0][0] =& $arr1;
print_r(unserialize(serialize($arr1)));
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [0] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => Array
 *RECURSION*
                        )

                )

        )

)


Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
