Okay, I will say exactly where I have this problem:
PHP 5.2.1
# cat /proc/cpuinfo
processor : 0
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 15
model : 67
model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+
# uname -a
Linux silver 2.6.18-8.1.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Apr 9 09:43:24 EDT 2007 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
php -r 'print_r(unpack("N", pack("N", 41445)));
returns the same as metioned int the original message about this bug:
-2147442203
If you use sprintf('%b',....), you can see:
1111111111111111111111111111111110000000000000001010000111100101
First 32 bits are set to 1.
There is no problem on Intel Xeon 64-bit processor as I could test.

Not reproducible (both on 32bit and 64bit).

Sorry, it is converted to SIGNED int

The problem is that first 32 bits are set to 1 (not 0) in the output of
unpack() function, thus it is interpreted as very large number and then
converted to unsigned int for PHP representation.

This isn't bogus, this is a real bug that causes pain.
N is there for people writing code that talks to network services that
need to convert numbers from network byte order to the native format.
Also note that we get a bonus crash bug on 64-bit platforms too:
$fail = '\x00\x00\x00\x8c';
$result = unpack('Nsize', $fail);
$size = $result['size'] & 0xffffffff; // BANG!

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php
You should be using either L or V, not N.
