I would suggest looking through bugs.php.net either looking for bugs in
mainstream extensions or ones that you may be familiar with underlying
library, or looking into XFAILs on the tests maybe (see below how to run
them). You could also do http://bugs.php.net/random and see random bugs
- after a few tries you usually can find some with good reproducing case
- though not all of them will be easy to deal with :)

make test runs all the unit tests (be warned, there's 10K+ of them, more
depending on enabled extensions, so some patience is required).
run-test.php script will run any specific test or group of tests in
given directory (tests are in tests/ usually and called .phpt)
