Nope. A segmentation fault is normally a bug in the PHP interpreter or some
other system library. Bad code may help to trigger it some times but it's
always an unexpected result: ideally, PHP should complain if necessary but
not crash.

I've tried this code:

<?php

class Foo{
}

$foo=new Foo();

if($foo < 4){
echo "foo is less than four\n";
}

?>

The condition is true and it also raises a notice: "Notice: Object of class
Foo could not be converted to int"
