Description:
------------
Easy reproducible segmentation fault.
It seems that count($this) doesn't check recursion. I think that count($this) should check if it is called inside of $this->count(), and if so, should ignore the Countable interface and just count the properties. Use case: if your object got special properties that you do not want to count, you can use something liek that: "function count() {return count($this) - numberOfSpecialProperties;}" 

Test script:
---------------
class A implements Countable {function count() {return count($this);}} count(new A);

Expected result:
----------------
0

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

You can get the count via count((array)$this) or reflection, we won't add a special rule to count itself. We try to minimize bad effects of recursion where we can in a good way.
