Description:
------------
when file_get_contents() is instructed to get the first (2**31) bytes of a file that is exactly (2**31) bytes big, php will only fetch the first (2**31)-1 bytes.

Test script:
---------------
rm -f bug;
dd if=/dev/null count=0 bs=1 seek=2147483648 of=bug;
php -r 'ini_set("memory_limit","-1");var_dump(strlen(file_get_contents("bug")));';
php -r 'ini_set("memory_limit","-1");var_dump(strlen(file_get_contents("bug", false, null, 0, 2147483648)));';

Expected result:
----------------
int(2147483648)
int(2147483648)

Actual result:
--------------

$ rm -r bug; dd if=/dev/null count=0 bs=1 seek=2147483648 of=bug ; php -r 'ini_set("memory_limit","-1");var_dump(strlen(file_get_contents("bug")));'
