That's an entirely lame attitude. The goal here should be a stable php,
irregardless of the quality of code php is running. In the case of
infinite loops, recursions, etc., php can either throw an error if it is
somehow recognizable, or it can simply timeout. Allowing it to crash
because 'infinite recursion leads to crash' is pathetic. If it crashes,
it can be fixed.
