Description:
------------
In WinXP, crash occurs at $howmany >= 65537; in Mandrake Linux, crash (specifying Segmentation fault) occurs at $howmany >= 131073.  Note that crash only occurs *after* all statements are performed.

I have been able to reproduce this everywhere, with any 4.3.2+ version of PHP on all platforms, regardless of configuration or state of php.ini.



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$string = "X";
$howmany = 65537;
$b4guts = mktime();
$guts = array();
for ( $x = 0; $x < $howmany; $x++ ) {
  $guts[$x] = $string;
}
$afterguts = mktime();
$gutstime = $afterguts - $b4guts;
echo "\nGuts built.  Time $gutstime seconds.  ", count($guts), " elements\n";
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Normal program termination.


Actual result:
--------------
Windows generates a GPF requiring close of the process.  Mandrake Linux generates a "Segmentation fault".
