why is zend_test_zend_call_stack_get() needed for this test? Same with the zend_text extension being enabled.

also for the other test

zend_test_zend_call_stack_get() is compiled only under #ifdef ZEND_CHECK_STACK_LIMIT, the same guard the fix's check sits behind, so function_exists() on it is the probe for whether stack-limit checking exists on this platform. Where it doesn't, EG(stack_limit) is never armed, the new check is a no-op, and the test recurses into a real SEGV instead of throwing. The probe lives in zend_test, hence the --EXTENSIONS-- line. Same skip guard as the existing Zend/tests/stack_limit/ tests.
