verified...
Crashes too on W2K. But *after* the script has finished...

Does *not* crash me on Linux.

I see circular reference here. PHP doesn't do circular references.
 [2000-08-13 07:17 UTC] waldschrott@php.net 
what exactly creates that crash here, following the exact
way PHP should go through the code I cannot reveal any
paradox or complicated situations...

if Rasmus hadn?t mentioned that duplicates will be deleted,
I?d mark this a duplicate (it dups 5620, references leak
mem), Andi said it should leak but not crash, thus reopening

Here is a "light" version crashing my W2K system.
I?ve also attached (in my eyes) equivalent non-crashing code.


Crash code:

<?php
class a { }
class b {
function b(&$obj) {
$this->a=&$obj;
$this->a->b=&$this; }}


$a=new a;
$b=new b($a);
?>
//var_dump($b);

Equivalent non-crash code:

<?php
class a { }
class b {}

$a=new a;
$b=new b;
$a->b=&$b;
$a->b->a=&$a;
//var_dump($a);
?>

there?s ony & too many:

- $this->a=&$obj;
+ $this->a=$obj;

but crashes anyway

Should be fixed in CVS, please check.
