Enough.
Gustavo has written a patch, the technical merits of which can be discussed
somewhere with less noise. Additionally, it would be nice if the anti-PHP
circlejerk took place somewhere other than PHP's bug tracker. Hacker News seems
to enjoy it.
Closing the bug to public comments. Feel free to e-mail me about how I hate
freedom, if it makes you feel better.

This isn't just a bug, it's a summary of PHP as a language: broken by design.

This behaviour is for sure a bug. The == vs. === argument does not apply here.
PHP should not perform the type conversion for the comparison if the result of
the
type conversion does not fit into the actual type converted to.

Just a comment for users who would like to use large numbers.
There are bcmath and gmp modules for large number arithmetic.
