The problem isn't with the call by ref. but with the following

Description:
------------
if you create an function that calls himself with an pass by ref.
variable then as a result PHP crashes.
tested with:
* PHP 5.0.0b2-dev (snapshot: php5-win32-200309251030.zip) on Windows
(Apache2 2.0.47 and Windows 2003)
* PHP 4.3.3 on Windows (Apache2 2.0.47 and Windows 2003)
* PHP 4.2.3 on Netware (Apache2 2.0.47 and Netware 6.5)
In the web browser appears the page: "can't find server"
and in the log files there is no information about the error/crash
Reproduce code:
---------------
crash($test = 0);
function crash(&$test) {
if ($test < 10)
crash($test);
$test++;
}
Expected result:
----------------
the variable test with an value of (int)10
Actual result:
--------------
with PHP4 on Windows only php crashes and with PHP5 on Windows and PHP4
on Netware both php and apache2 crashes.
