Package: php5
Version: 5.2.6-2
Severity: normal
While fiddling around with one project, I accidentally made an infinite
recursion, and PHP went away with a segmentation fault.
A few minutes later, I could reduce the problem to the following snippet:
<?php
function foo () { foo (); }
foo ();
?>
This makes php segfault somewhere in the zend engine. The backtrace here
is rather long, and shares a strong resemblance to the backtrace posted
in #405067.
It should be very easy to reproduce anyway.
Even though infinite recursions are bad, and should be avoided, I
believe that php should handle it a wee-bit better. Perl for example
just eats up all resources it can, until killed, which would be the
expected behaviour, I think.

Hi,
since lenny is oldstable it will not get any updates now (except
security)[1], I am closing all segfault bugs filled against php5 in
lenny. (This is kind of saying that we don't care much about php5 in
lenny anymore).
If you believe the bug is still there, please provide evidence[2] and
a (preferably complete) test case with up-to-date squeeze (and/or
testing or unstable) version of php5 and reopen the bug.
O.
1. http://wiki.debian.org/PHP#Notes_on_PHP_and_security
2. Install php5-dbg and provide backtrace:
