The whole point of the safe_*alloc() functions is to avoid weird carry issues. Is that *ever* going to happen in this instance? No. You'd need 2^31 elements (assuming 32-bit arch) in the array and that's just not going to happen in PHP on a system using less than about a 100GB of ram. But then again.... 640k ought to be enough for anyone.... -Sara
