Description:
------------
Unserializing of numbers > MAX_INT is wrong. That's because php uses long internally for storing ints but int is used in unserializing. Attached patch fixes this issue.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
echo unserialize(serialize(2147483648));
?>


Expected result:
----------------
2147483648

Actual result:
--------------
-2147483648

I haven't found way to attach patches here, so it's available on my web: http://www.cihar.com/misc/php-unserializer.patch

If i apply that patch to a 32 bit machine i get many test errors any idea? Also it is enough to put the .re diff

What kind of tests do fail? I have no idea what could be broken by this change.

I can't reproduce these failures here (php 4.3.10).

The patch works fine also on 5.0.3, I have no idea what could break tests for you...

I haven't yet find time to test this, but you seem to duplicate part of code with this commit:

 	if (elements < 0) {
 		return 0;
 	}

+	if (elements < 0) {
+		return 0;
+	}
