"0000 09 2009".

In ext/date/php_date.c, t->y (years) are stored as wide_int which is 'long long int' 64 bits but vararg or main/snprintf.c retrieve it as 'long int' (32 bits).

As consequence, on big endian system, only upper part is take in account and contains only 0. 

Tested on NetBSD / Sparc system but I guess reproducible on all big endian system (IBM, sparc, 68000, ...).

Bye the way, what is the need having 64b years which as been introduced w/ 5.2.10 ?

Bye

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

Unfortunately, I'm not able to compile latest 5.3 due to GCC bug this time :
gcc: Internal error: Killed (program cc1)
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://www.netbsd.org/Misc/send-pr.html> for instructions.
gmake: *** [ext/fileinfo/libmagic/apprentice.lo] Error 1

I'm planing to upgrade my system in coming weeks (during my holidays) implying a new GCC but it's not before at least 1 month.

As a workaround of this bug, I'm suggesting doing year display as integer as it was on 5.2.9.

Bye

Derick linked to the wrong snapshot.

I've fixed this already.

How about you update your buggy compiler to something that actually 
works first?
