Description:
------------
comparison of strings using == shows wrong results when both strings are
numbers (digits) around PHP_MAX_INT;
the same comparison using === works correctly;
tested on 64 bit systems only, affects also PHP 5.3.5

Test script:
---------------
$a = '9223372036854775807';
$b = '9223372036854775808';
if ($a == $b) {
    echo "$a == $b\n";
}
else {
    echo "$a != $b\n";
}
// displays 9223372036854775807 == 9223372036854775808


Expected result:
----------------
should display
9223372036854775807 != 9223372036854775808

Actual result:
--------------
displays
9223372036854775807 == 9223372036854775808


------------------------------------------------------------------------
