Description:
------------
The test code crashes apache in the 5.4+ environment.
$foo starts as a string, gets interpreted as a double but it isn't I guess.

unset($array[(double) $foo]) works as expected

Test script:
---------------
$array = array("5"=>"bar");
$foo = "10.0000"; // gettype($foo) = "string"
$foo /= 2; //Makes $foo = 5 but still gettype($foo) = "double"
unset($array[$foo]);
print_r($array);

Expected result:
----------------
Array()

Actual result:
--------------
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

I have a patch for this here: https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/144

If you could test whether it fixes the issue for you it would help a lot.

We had some issues reproducing the problem consistently, so would be nice to verify this :)

still can not reproduce in Ubuntu 11.10 && valgrind 3.6.1 & gcc 4.6.1 & 64bits
 [2012-07-26 02:26 UTC] rasmus@php.net
It is reproducable on 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 with Valgrind 3.8.0

This bug has been fixed in SVN.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.

 For Windows:

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

the reason why jpauli and I can not reproduce is (it's silly):
I typo "USE_ZEND_ALLOC *&&* valgrind" at the first time, then I always ctrl+r
and jpauli copied my command from the pastbin :)

thanks

I'm trying to test out the fix in the new Windows snapshot, but all of the links to download the snapshot are broken on http://windows.php.net/snapshots/
