Ways to crash PHP

I have always heard that there are many ways to crash PHP. While a lot of the old methods have been fixed (naturally), I know that there must be many other ways. In my quest to write the most secure code as possible, I have began investigating ways that one may go about crashing PHP. So far the only information I have stumbled upon is an article most of you are probably very familiar with (http://ilia.ws/archives/5_Top_10_ways_to_crash_PHP.html). Are there any other vulnerabilities that I should be aware about? I was astonished that there is a huge vulnerability in the GD and Image Magick libraries. Does anyone have any more info on this?

Help is appreciated. Thanks!
