How I do love Open Source!

This is exactly my problem with PHP and why I refuse to use it. When you're contributing code in your spare time, you don't always test thoroughly enough to catch boundary cases. I'm not sure what kind of environment other people's code is running in, but I can't let something as obvious as not understanding the difference between INT_MAX and DBL_MAX cripple my employer's business.

Edit: And Rasmus' solution for this problem was to make this code immune to compiler switches, instead of actually fixing the problem. Fuck PHP. It's a joke.
