Yeah no crash because that's only a couple lines of code :) And yeah it
doesnąt matter what you have in there just as long as you have that many
lines..

I didn't try include files, but apparently that counts as lines of codes
also.. so 8000+ total lines.. I agree, but it does crash and apparently the
guy that found the bug does write that many lines of code.. don't ask me.. I
don't know why :)

You said you looped - "I created a loop that assigned $x = 1; a whole bunch of times"

But anyhow, I digress. We have several files that exceed 8000 (we try not to write them that big, but YMMV) lines of code that there are no problems with. My bet is that it has to do with memory amount and allocation, which would explain differences between yours and his.
