Bug description:  var_export: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?

Description:
------------
doing var_export( $GLOBALS, true ) there is an error 
like in older versions of php4:

Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency?

Of course it is easy to do a workaround, but maybe it 
would be nice to fix it. Theres a lot of discussion 
araound this bug in some communities for older php 
versions. Maybe it is me being in error or maybe this is 
just a feature and not a bug? In this case sorry for 
disturbing...

Thanks a lot for all your work!


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$outText = var_export( $GLOBALS, true );

?>

Expected result:
----------------
I would expect to get var_export in $outText

Actual result:
--------------
array (  'GLOBALS' => array (  'GLOBALS' => array (  
'GLOBALS' => array ( 
Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive 
dependency?
