In case this is considered a bug ( IMHO it should emit such warning)

fix:

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

When the line length is <= 0 it leaves the string untouched, this is 
expected behavior.
