Description:
------------
When the initial one element array, starting with -1 index, is poped, and afterwards two values are pushed into the obtained empty array, the second value index is becoming 2147483647, which is obviously an error.


All other starting indexes (-2, 0, 1, 2,...) do not affect array in this way. 

Also, when starting index is > 0, the index of the first element, pushed into the empty array is kept from the previous key-value pair. Such behaviour may be also considered erroneous.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$b=array(-1=>0);
$c=array_pop($b); assert($c == 0);

assert(array_push($b, 0), 1);
assert(array_push($b, 0), 2);
var_dump($b);
assert(array_push($b, 0), 3);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  int(0)
  [1]=>
  int(0)
}

Actual result:
--------------
array(2) {
  [-1]=>
  int(0)
  [2147483647]=>
  int(0)
}
PHP Warning:  array_push(): Cannot add element to the array as the next element is already occupied in /home/dmitri/workspace/cell/temp/array_push_pop_bug.php on line 8

It's the same in 64 bit architecture. Current behavior is debatable/erroneous. 
I haven't read Zend hash code. It seems it's converting index to PHP_INT_MAX somewhere.

_phpi_pop() is the function.

http://lxr.php.net/xref/PHP_5_5/ext/standard/array.c#1934

ulong index; is used for numeric index and next free element is set as 

Z_ARRVAL_P(stack)->nNextFreeElement = Z_ARRVAL_P(stack)->nNextFreeElement - 1;

Use of signed long for index would result in more intuitive behavior since PHP's int is always signed. This is Zend Hash index signed/unsigned issue. For this reason, category is changed to "Scripting Engine Problem"  There might be similar issues elsewhere.

Another possible fix for this specific bug might be adding check against signed int max and set nNextFreeElement to 0 when index is larger than signed long max. This could be in released versions. It's ugly. Uniform use of signed/unsigned is much cleaner solution. IMO.
