This is the error message I received from Apache:

Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are
sorry for the inconvenience.

It's one of those Windows popups that says you're screwed with technical
details, send error report to black hole, etc.
 
I single stepped, using Zend debugger. An infinite loop seems like a good
explanation. But the problem hits on the second pass through $traceArr =
debug_backtrace();
