Is PHP acting like a Poltergeist? (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)
> No sane person cares about $[,
Its use is also discouraged according to the documentation:
"As of release 5 of Perl, assignment to $[ is treated as a
compiler
directive, and cannot influence the behavior of any other file.
(That's why you can only assign compile-time constants to it.) Its
use is highly discouraged."

That's one good reason for not segfaulting. =)
