Description:
------------
I am getting the following warning when calling mt_rand() on 5.3.4RC2-dev (snapshot 201011231530), and it returns false:

PHP Warning:  mt_rand(): max(-1080344744) is smaller than min(137322600)


This is on a 32bit Linux container running on a 64bit host (OpenVZ).

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(mt_rand(), mt_getrandmax());

Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
int(2147483647)
