Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/class.messageformatter
---


Test script:
---------------
In our application, we eventually pass a large string like: 
$str = "crwdns213084:0{1}crwdnd213084:0{2}crwdnd213084:0{3}crwdnd213084:0{1}crwdnd213084:0{2}crwdnd213084:0{3}crwdnd213084:0{1}crwdnd213084:0{2}crwdnd213084:0{3}crwdnd213084:0{1}crwdnd213084:0{2}crwdnd213084:0{3}crwdnd213084:0{1}crwdnd213084:0{2}crwdnd213084:0{3}crwdnd213084:0{1}crwdnd213084:0{2}crwdnd213084:0{3}crwdne213084:0";
$locale = "ar-SA";
$args = [0,1,2,3];

Into: 
        $msg = msgfmt_create($locale, $str);
        $output = msgfmt_format($msg, $args);

And after it executes msgfmt_format() it dies.


Expected result:
----------------
Be able to handle a large string as shown.

Actual result:
--------------

This looks like a bug in ICU4C :( Looking at the code here:
http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/tags/release-57-1/source/i18n/msgfmt.cpp

in method getFormats the array is allocated to match argTypesCount, or 10, whichever is larger, but the number of actual fields is defined not by count of types but by count of actual arguments. So, if you have more than 10 arguments but less than 10 different types it would write to unallocated memory.

Filed an issue with ICU: http://bugs.icu-project.org/trac/ticket/12584

For now, the best mitigation would be to split the format string into pieces that have less up to 10 pattern instances. I'll think how we can mitigate this in PHP.... seems to be hard as it's a pretty basic ICU function.

The upstream bug is fixed[1] as of ICU 64.1, so this ticket can be
closed.
