Bug description:  Problem with negative exponent handling

Description:
------------
PHP 5.03 appears to handle math equations with negative exponents
differently than PHP 4.3.x.  I am trying to use the following example in a
larger script, but the primary difference is included below. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
PHP 4.3:
<? echo (-4738698913^43814); ?>
outputs:
-443704711

PHP 5.03:
<? echo (-4738698913^43814); ?>
outputs:
-2147439834

Expected result:
----------------
I believe 5.03 should output what 4.3 does, but this is an extraordinarily
large number so I can't say for certain.  

PHP 4.3:
<? echo (-4738698913^43814); ?>
outputs:
-443704711

Actual result:
--------------
PHP 5.03:
<? echo (-4738698913^43814); ?>
outputs:
-2147439834
