<?php
function loop()
{
    loop();
}
loop();

There are CVEs for XML bugs, but why there is no solution for this.
Bad gateway every time. php53 and php54 don't segfault here.

Hello,

Possibly the issue is located within the zend engine and that is not easy to 
fix without breaking compatibility with closed source modules that can't be 
recompiled to support a custom zend engine.

What I suggest you to protect your server from this issue is to install the 
Suhosin extension and with the correct settings prevent this from happening.

suhosin.executor.max_depth = 10000

This is currently what I do in my server.

Regards,
NewEraCracker

Also, for the record, this issue existed since PHP 4 and was only fixed in PHP 
5.3 but I don't know which code they've changed to fix it.

They didn't fixed it, but they added parametr which limit recursion level 
instead.
