Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/ini.core
---

PHP will not run with a 4G, 4096M or 4194304K

PHP Fatal error:  Allowed memory size of 262144 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 
523800 bytes) in Unknown on line 0


Test script:
---------------
Change the memory_limit from the byte value to the "K", "M" or "G" version of 4Gb to see fatal error.

EXAMPLE:

; works:
memory_limit = 4294967296

; fails:
;memory_limit = 4G
;memory_limit = 4096M
;memory_limit = 4194304K

Expected result:
----------------
One should be able to set the memory_limit with the "G", "M" and "K" versions of 
4Gb.

Please, take a look at bug #54201.

bug #54201 does show the same issue, but this entry below identifies that it is explicitly at a unique value where the bug occurs, not using the byte value.

The "zend_alloc.c" shows the error condition being hit when setting the 
memory_limit with non-byte value equal to 4G.  

may be the differences in line 1965 and line 2276?  A debug build may show the 
filename and line number?
