I understand what you've explained. But I'll set status to Suspended.
Please work around this problem.

HOW TO REPRODUCE
1. You must run Apache in any version on a Linux system and have setup
an VirtualHost entry with
an example domain "www.domain.com".
2. Configure an .htaccess file like
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com/notfound.html
3. The notfound.html file MUST NOT exist and you MUST use an external
path
4. Write a php script like
<?php
include("http://www.domain.com/any_file_that_does_not_exist.html";);
?>
WHAT HAPPENS
The include() function tries to get the specified document but cannot
find it. So the Apache webserver
sends an 404 error together with a HTTP redirection. The include()
tries to catch this address which
leads into an infinite loop. The webserver will die shortly.
HOW TO SOLVE
The include() function should have a limit on how many levels it tries
to catch since the webserver is not
able to determine if the caller runs into an infinite loop.
