 [2001-09-11 15:01 UTC] tomc at tripac dot com 
At line 113 in ext/standard/crypt.c a calculation is made for the argument to php_srand() that creates an invalid result with gcc 2.7.2 on a Cobalt Mips system.  httpd exits with a floating point exception when PHP is invoked.

Changed

php_srand(time(0) * getpid() * (php_combined_lcg() * 10000.0)); 

to

php_srand(time(0) * getpid() *
    (unsigned long) (php_combined_lcg() * 10000.0));
