This has been known for ages. It's simply that the stack overflows at some time, after too many functions have been called. There is nothing we can do about, and while upstream could, they don't consider this an issue. So it's very unlikely that we'll ever see a fix for this. There is a workaround though: Certain extensions like xdebug (might be suhosin as well?) do have a config option to limit the recursion depth.
