From manual page: http://www.php.net/functions.user-defined

Apparently, many users don't expect PHP to crash on infinite
recursion[1]. Therefore I suggest to document this issue more
clearly, at least.

[1] 3 reproducible crashes due to infinite recursion have been
reported during the last 10 days: bug #69346, bug #69397, bug
#69423. There seem to be a lot of older reports.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.
