Description:
------------
Looks like memory_limit is kept using a 32-bit signed integer even with php compiled on 64-bit Linux.

Reproduce code:
---------------
set memory_limit to -1 or >= 2048M

<?= count(file("a_big_file")) ?>

Expected result:
----------------
number of lines in "a_big_file".

Actual result:
--------------
"Integer overflow in memory_limit check detected"

Yes, it's using a size_t which AFAIK is limited to 32bit on most systems.

same behavior on 5.2.5
setting memory_limit to 4096M result in almost any script produce following error:

Allowed memory size of 
262144 bytes exhausted

262144 == 0x40000

I put 4000000000 in php.ini and it looks like it work now
so parsing '4096M' does produce memory_limit 4Gb

Same issue on 5.6.14 64 bit + Apache 64 bit + Windows 64 bit.
Can't set "4096M", getting:
PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted
