The weirdest part about this is that PHP is somehow trying to allocate 140TB of memory.
I've seen numbers like that a few times - always around 140TB, but the exact number varies. I assume it's an overflow (or underflow?) somewhere, but the exact mechanism escapes me. (It's close to 2^47, but not very close; I've got examples logged as "low" as 140090229815192, and I think I've seen under 140 trillion.) In hex: 00007F694C627798 - so apparently 00007F69400000000 is common to all.
FYI: I have seen similar issues with mixed environments (32 and 64-bit) - at this point I am surprised that you can even dlopen() both sizes (my OS now refuses to dlopen() 32-bit modules aka shared libraries when 64-bit application and v.v.)
Apart from sheer curiosity of where this magic number comes from, I wonder if there is some sanity check missing in the memory manager to at least display a different error message... Regards,
