got another one ;)
of course this example is *extremely* different from my
example and I don?t know how we could handle circular
references in ordered and unordered comparisions with ease,
but *it should not crash* (taken from zeev) although it?d
expect it to... :)

$obj->a='1';
$obj->b='2';

$obj2->b='2';
$obj2->a='1';
$obj2->c=&$obj;
$obj->c=&$obj2;
		
echo $obj==$obj2;
echo $obj===$obj2;

Confirmed on latest CVS. Will look into it.

<?php

class object1 {
  var $a;
  var $b;
  var $c;
}

$obj = new object1();
$obj2 = new object1();


$obj->a='1';
$obj->b='2';

$obj2->b='2';
$obj2->a='1';
$obj2->c=&$obj;
$obj->c=&$obj2;
		
echo ($obj==$obj2)?1:2;
echo ($obj===$obj2)?1:2;

?>

still causes a stack overflow error. Perhaps we need to limit the depth the comparison follows too.

Fixed in the latest CVS (properly bails out) - will be a part of 4.0.7.
