Comment 4 for bug 697181

I've confirmed that marking the double variables as volatile in maverick's php causes the infinite loop not to get triggered on i386 (and think I understand why that's the case). However, attempts to reproduce the issue with php from 9.10 (karmic), 8.04 (hardy), and 6.06 (dapper) fail for no apparent reason -- the zend_strtod.c code is nearly identical between karmic and lucid's versions. Does anyone have an indication as to what's different that woul cause this issue not to be triggered on older releases? Thanks.
