Description:
------------
It is almost impossible now to handle fatal errors.
Of course there are exists some ways (shutdown handler or ob_start): 
http://eirikhoem.wordpress.com/2008/03/15/dying-with-grace-phps-
register_shutdown_function/
I think, that replacing message "Fatal error" with something like  
"FatalErrorException" is possible and follows use case of exceptions.

Which types of "fatal errors" we can replace with throw exception (and write to 
log/mail to/show custom html):
1. out of memory - cleanup $GLOBALS and calling GC before (to free up memory)
2. compile error - when trying to include, require or eval
3. call to undefined function - that's simpler as above, like use of undefined 
variable

Maybe a wordpress update will help you, because wordpress have thousands bugs.... 
We had also this bug on http//www.boxen1.com, since a wordpress update, the 
wordpress works fine,

There are about 5-10 similar bugs:

Handling fatal errors is important. Another option is to use external debugger, 
which in some cases takes a longer time (to setup copy of website locally or to 
setup connection - we not always have ssh and not always allowed to setup own 
software on shared server) than inserting exit at each script to find the place 
with loop.

Most of the internal engine errors that previously gave fatal errors have been changed to use exceptions - https://wiki.php.net/rfc/engine_exceptions_for_php7

Please report any remaining problems individually.
