x64: Strange return when repeating <crlf>

[jupe]

I have noticed that in x64 when repeating <crlf> if the value is between 5 and 21, strange things happen to the output, here is a quick repro.

Code: Select all

$i = 4; while ($i++ < 21) { $s .= <crlf $i>; } text $s;

Wow, mega weird.

It will be fixed in the next beta by replacing the old approach with a completely different one. What's going on with the old approach needs a special investigation, probably involving a priest and an exorcist.
