I missed one characted and ended up with: http://www.tzb-info.cz/106687-vyborne-tepelneizolacni-vlastnostmi-cihel-rady-porotherm-44-eko Is it really that big a problem to give the long link http://blog.hetz.biz/?p=206 I know it's 8 characters longer, and 8 characters are a big deal noawadays. But still, I'd like to know where I'm going to. Anyway, both your article and the linked Register. I can't really reproduce their issue. I tried their example on a not-so-uptodate machine I have here: $ time php -r '$d = 2.2250738585072011e-308;' real 0m0.025s user 0m0.008s sys 0m0.016s I tried playing with this a bit more, and I get the expected flating point behaviour: $ time php5 -r "\$d = 2.2250738585072011e-308; echo \$d+6;" 6 real 0m0.026s user 0m0.024s sys 0m0.000s php5-cli 5.2.6.dfsg.1-1 (Tried this on both a 32bit and a 64bit Debian system) The relevant bug report is here: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53632 So this bug looks like an odd interaction with the toolchain. Not sure whose fault it is. But before you panic: check to see if the PHP version of your is actually broken. It's easy. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
