Description:
------------
I get a segfault if I use much memory on a x86_64. It works up to 2G and doesn't 
work beyond it.
I first encountered it using streams, but it seems that it happens always using 
more memory.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$a=file_get_contents('/dev/zero');
?>


Expected result:
----------------
getting fatal error telling me that memory_limit is exhausted like

'Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 2147483648 bytes exhausted at /home/rgr/php-
5.3.8/main/streams/streams.c:1331 (tried to allocate 2146697216 bytes) in 
fillMemory.php on line 3'


Actual result:
--------------
rgr@rgrVM1:~/php-5.3.8/sapi/cli$ ./php -d memory_limit=3G fillMemory.php
Speicherzugriffsfehler (Speicherabzug geschrieben)

although I have submitted a phpt file for this, I really think it'd better not to 
be a default test case, since it consume too much memory,  may cause the client 
feel worse..

I received this bug when running 'make test' with the default ./configure flags 
(no arguments) on the latest PHP 5.4.0 branch.

I'm running Mac OS X Lion (10.7.2 - "Darwin - Darwin Simons-MacBook-Air.local 
11.2.0 Darwin Kernel Version 11.2.0: Tue Aug  9 20:54:00 PDT 2011; root:xnu-
1699.24.8~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64") on a 1.8GHz Core i7, 4GB RAM MacBook Air.

This test fails sometimes when the 3 GB of memory take too long (more than the hardcoded 300 seconds in the run-tests.php) to be written - usually when RAM is full and memory has to be written as swap on the hard disk. To prevent failing, could you remove the timeout at this test please?
