Description:
------------
So in my project I have an auto-generated lexer, it contains a big array. I created a simplified script that reproduces the bug.

There are 65538 integers and it looks like something overflows inside PHP. The var_dump call ouputs an array of only the last 2 numbers.

Removing last 2 numbers yields an empty array.

If I remove last 3 numbers, the output stops at key 32766, that is 32767 values.

Test script:
---------------
http://filebin.ca/1atoDItGZU2A

Expected result:
----------------
All of 65538 integers

Actual result:
--------------
array(2) {
  [0]=>
  int(0)
  [1]=>
  int(0)
}

Forgot to mention that the problem appeared after upgrading from 5.5.X (don't remember the exact version) to 5.6.0.

Confirmed in Windows 8, using x86 non-thread-safe build.

Constant expression AST uses ushort child count in 5.6, which is overflowing here.

Any progress on this issue? Changing ushort to uint looks easy to do.

Fixing this is an ABI break (so not really possible for 5.6.x). It's fixed in master (PHP 7+) though.
