Sorry, for some reason the 

Expected result:
----------------
string(2) "

Actual result:
--------------
string(2) "

stuff is all wrong.....


string(2) "�^" Warning: String is not zero-terminated
(ZZZZ�̏*�̏*ZZZZ) (source:
/root/php/php5-200504121430/Zend/zend_variables.h:35) in
/var/www/vhosts/martinco.com/httpdocs/phpinfo.php on line 2

is the result I get.

I expect 

string(2) "en"

Sorry about that

Description:
------------
strval() does not terminate strings with 0 / NULL characters. The
direct return value for var_dump() is totally garbled. When this result
is passed to another internal PHP function this returns random garabe
that varies with each request.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(strval ('en')); die();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
string(2) "

Actual result:
--------------
string(2) "
