a fix could be:
$ git diff
diff --git a/ext/standard/array.c b/ext/standard/array.c

I don't know what is considered *infinite* in php, but the same thing happens with large numbers like PHP_INT_MAX/2, see http://3v4l.org/BSYs8

hmm, actually, this is the same as the previously one. (uint32)((double)(very big value)) result in zero...
