PHP Bug Type:     Reproducible crash
Bug description:  Recursive function call crashes engine

Description:
------------
Engine crashes when passed buggy recursive function calling code.

PHP 4.3.3 (cli) (built: Sep 17 2003 22:54:17)
Copyright (c) 1997-2003 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v1.3.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2003 Zend Technologies
    with Zend Optimizer v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2003, by Zend
Technologies

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
        function debug ($text='', $level=2, $file='', $line=0) {
                if (is_writable ('/logs/error.log')) {
                        error_log ("$debug_string\n", 3, '/logs/error.log');
                } else {
                        debug ('Error Log Not Writable', 2);
                }
        }

        debug ('Test');
?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expect an out of memory error or something to be caught.  Instead it
seems the engine gets caught in an infinite loop like my code and dies
painfully.

Actual result:
--------------
0x28ade8cb in zend_assign_to_variable_reference () from
/usr/local/libexec/apache/ZendOptimizer.so

Or!  If I add a call to error_log to count function calls (in my case it
was 8976 before engine crashed)... then I get...

0x81a07c1 in zend_hash_quick_add_or_update () from
/usr/local/libexec/apache/ZendOptimizer.so

If I remove zend_optimzer.so from php.ini I get this error
0x819aa2e in zendi_smart_strcmp ()

Backtrace is thousands and thousands of any of the given above messages.
