Hm, same problem as the other overflow-things. Assigned to myself.

Are there other dangerous functions like this anywhere?

The problem is with the typecasting to LONG, if you use the code:

<?php
$tt=array(382478633.0,367687181.0,452504275.0,471367521.0,848270658.0,1181944543.0);
echo array_sum($tt)."\n";
?>

The result is the correct one (3704252811)

Solution would be to

1) use floating point representation for bign numbers in PHP code (add caveat to the 
manual perhaps?)

or

2) check that the array_sum result is nor overflowing LONG in the C code 
implementation and bump the type to DOUBLE if it does.

second option would be better IMHO

$tt=array(382478633,367687181,452504275,471367521,848270658,1181944543);
$total_tt=array_sum($tt);
echo "Total_tt=".$total_tt;

// Prints  Total_tt=-590714485

Must be 3704252811.
