 New Comment:

There is no recursion. This is a function being called from within a
switch block. Surely?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is expected, PHP does not protect against infinite recursion.

Description:
------------
I've tried to get the code to the minimum required to cause a crash.
The combination of the local variable being defined and the global
reference seems to be causing stack corruption (the script never
returns successfully from the function call:

jelly can # php -f crash.php
About to segfault : Segmentation fault
jelly can # php -v
PHP 5.0.1 (cli) (built: Aug 18 2004 12:39:38)

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
        switch($t)
        {
                default:
                        $rar = 0;
                        function segfault()
                        {
                                global $moo;
                                echo 'About to segfault : ';
                        }
                        segfault();
        }
?>


Expected result:
----------------
About to segfault : 

Actual result:
--------------
About to segfault : Segmentation fault
