Description:
------------
The following piece of code would cause "PHP Fatal error:  [php_fb]: call depth has exceeded the maximum recursion setting of 500!, eject! eject! eject!..." in 5.2.5. However, on versions 5.3.3 and 5.3.5, I am seeing a segmentation fault.


Test script:
---------------
<?php

class A { public function __toString() { (string)$this; } }

(string)new A();


Expected result:
----------------
"PHP Fatal error:  [php_fb]: call depth has exceeded the maximum recursion setting of 500!, eject! eject! eject!..." seems a reasonable result.

Actual result:
--------------
segmentation fault

This is a crash in stock PHP 5.2 too, Our version in APE has a patch that adds 
fb.recursion_max and overrides zend_execute to do the counting.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not

http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

scott: was a previous bug filed? Do you have the bug id.

iliaa: a reproducible seg fault not a bug? Sure...
