Logged In: YES user_id=80475 FWIW, I think these safe-cracking style efforts at creating crashers is a waste of time. Please focus your efforts on fixing real bugs that matter, not in creating strange self-referential twists designed to poke holes in specific implementation details. There is no end to the kind of things like this that can be found and "fixing" them involves either making the code more convoluted or making the code slower but it won't make life better for most users. Also, I'm concerned that these "fixes" would need to be reviewed with extreme care, lest we introduce some new, real bug that DOES impact people's lives. If there were a real problem with filter(), we would have known it long ago.
