Description:
------------
If I try to perform a simple concatenation involving a variable created from the matches output of preg_match_all() the resulting string is borked. Please see the code above.

What I want to do: echo "[" . $var . "]";


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
function foo($s)
{
	preg_match_all("/PROCEDURE (.*)/i", $s, $matches);
	$name = (string) $matches[1][0];
	echo $name . "\n";
	return "[" . $name . "]";
}	


$s = "use providers
go

ALTER PROCEDURE SPD_EXECUTIVE_PROVIDER_DEALER
	(
		@EXECUTIVE_PROVIDER_ID	KEY_ID,
		@USER_SESSION_ID	ID
	)
/*
	Procedimiento 		: SPD_EXECUTIVE_PROVIDER_DEALER";
	
echo foo($s);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
[SPD_EXECUTIVE_PROVIDER_DEALER]

Actual result:
--------------
]SPD_EXECUTIVE_PROVIDER_DEALER

I can't reproduce it.

Forgot to mention one thing, I've tried to reproduce this bug using the PHP CLI, calling this script with php.exe -q <script.php>
I've just reproduced it again on a freshly installed XP box. Same happened with PHP 5.2.9-2.

Verified under windows. Does NOT happen with other OSes.

The problem is that the input has \r. This means that $name also has a \r, which makes the console's cursor go back and override the '[' char. If you change the EOL of the input file just to \n, you'll see you expected output.

No bug here.

Sorry for the false positive. Thank you very much.
