Description:
------------
Sorry if this is a duplicate bug; the words __construct and segfault
appear thousands of times in this bug database.

If you try to construct an object of yourself in the constructor, the
infinite recursion causes a segfault. Ofcourse, you never want to
construct yourself like this, but then again, you never want to
segfault either. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
/*
 * Tested on: 
 * PHP 5.1.4 (cli) (built: May 18 2006 09:50:08)
 * Copyright (c) 1997-2006 The PHP Group
 * Zend Engine v2.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2006 Zend  Technologies
 */

class SegFault
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        new SegFault();
    }

}

$breakme = new SegFault();

?>


Expected result:
----------------
PHP Warning: something to the effect of infinite recursion

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault


------------------------------------------------------------------------
