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

This is because the 4294967295 is converted to long, hence...
var_dump((int)4294967295); // int(-1)
