Description:
------------
Running make test on 5.2.0RC4 fails with:
FAIL Math constants [ext/standard/tests/math/constants.phpt]


Reproduce code:
---------------
Add this additional debug to run-tests.php at line 1494:

$output_pgarr = explode("\n", $output);
$wanted_pgarr = explode("\n", $wanted);
foreach($wanted_pgarr as $line) {
  list($pgleft, $pgright) = explode(":", $line, 2);
  $pgleft = trim($pgleft); $pgright = trim($pgright);
  $pgwanted[$pgleft] = "$pgright";
}
foreach($output_pgarr as $line) {
  list($pgleft, $pgright) = explode(":", $line, 2);
  $pgleft = trim($pgleft); $pgright = trim($pgright);
  if (strcmp($pgright, $pgwanted[$pgleft]) !== 0)
    printf("%-10s: Expected: %-16s Got: %-16s  Diff: %s\n", $pgleft, $pgwanted[$pgleft], $pgright, bcsub($pgwant
ed[$pgleft], $pgright,12));
}


% echo "ext/standard/tests/math/constants.phpt" > pgtest.txt
% php run-tests.php -l pgtest.txt



Expected result:
----------------
Expected test to PASS

Actual result:
--------------
Added more code to run-tests.php to report on what was going on and got:

As you can see, we have lost a decimal place of precision.

Sorry "Description" should say: Running make test on 5.2.0RC5 fails with
 [2006-10-09 16:20 UTC] bjori@php.net 
The constants are system dependent.
If your system doesn't define them, PHP should do so.
The goal of the test is to make sure they are defined, not 
their value.

If that is the case, then the report becomes one of a broken test.    How can it be bogus when a standard "make test" fails with ext/standard/tests/math/constants.phpt

The "goal of the test is to make sure they are defined, not 
their value." <--- this sure is not what the test is coded to do.

Fix for the test:
