limit to var_dump?

[Ashley Sheridan <ash@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm seeing some strange behaviour with var_dump. Is there a limit to how
many levels deep that var_dump can display?

Basically, my object looks like this:

object(Gantt)[1]
  public 'tasks' =>
    array
      1 =>
        object(Gantt_Task)[2]
          public 'name' => string 'task 1' (length 6)
          public 'predecessors' =>
            array
              ...
      1.1 =>
        object(Gantt_Task)[3]
          public 'name' => string 'task 1.1' (length 8)
          public 'predecessors' =>
            array
              ...
      1.2 =>
        object(Gantt_Task)[4]
          public 'name' => string 'task 1.2' (length 8)
          public 'predecessors' =>
            array
              '1.1' => string 'f2s' (length 3)
              

(full dump shortened, but it's no more than 4x the size of this output
above, and the objects contain only short strings, small numbers and
arrays of short strings and small numbers)

However, when I var_dump the top-most object (the Gantt object) the
predecessors array for Gantt_Task 1.2 just shows as '...'. If I var_dump
that particular object, I can see that the correct array element does
exist.

Is this just a random bug I've found, or is there an intended limit to
how complex and deep var_dump can go? Would it have anything to do with
the fact that Gantt contains multiple instances of the Gantt_Task
object?
