For me with 4.3.2RC2 (Win32 build) this code no longer works as it
should:

function test($param = -1)
{
	echo $param;
}
test();

Instead of printing -1, is prints 0 instead.  I tracked this for a
while through the code, and believe the problem is with the changes
just introduced to mul_function() in zend_operators.c.  I can't follow
it well enough to explain why, but if I revert to the php_4_3_2RC1
version of mul_function() my test code works again.

Should be fixed already in CVS.
