Found the problem... the float (internally) reaches maximum precision
in the case. Going to try to fix it in some way.

Both the following commands outputs same value: 
 
base_convert("aaaaaaaaaaa", 36, 10); 
base_convert("aaaaaaaaaab", 36, 10); 
 
output: 37606201097790608 
 
In fact, the last character can be whatever between 0-z, 
and the output is always same. 
 
This bug appears only if strlen($string_to_convert) > 10.
