There is no loop here. This is segfaulting because the function is
failing to return correctly (stack corruption). Remove the "global"
statement, and add an echo '' outside of the switch() braces to see
normal (expected) program flow.

What loop??
Remove the "global $moo" and the $rar = 0 and it runs as expected:
<?
switch($t)
{
default:
function segfault()
{
echo 'About to segfault : ';
}
segfault();
}
echo 'Or not. Look no loop.';
?>

?
You call the function segfault() in a never ending loop.

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.
