Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

Seems to work in latest CVS.

I'm not sure about this problem. Allowing octal formats brings some problems.

What is the normal octal format? 1666, is it the decimal 1666? or octal 1666 (950 in decimal). There is no standard like 0x1234 for the hexadecimal format. If we define that an octal number must start with 0 (zero), it will then be easier. Not sure what is the less confusing solution :)

Also in your example, it should 438 not 666, if you expect an octal number.

Any other opinion?

Numbers starting with 0 only are octal numbers.

It is a documentation problem then. I will update the doc. I will close the bug once it is updated.
