PHP Bug Type:     XMLRPC-EPI related
Bug description:  xmlrpc_set_type crashes php

Description:
------------
Trying to cast a non-iso8601 conforming string to an xmlrpc datetime
object crashes php.
This happens if the characters in position 0 to 6 are too high in the
ascii table, presumably moving the converted date too far away in the
future

This is repro with php 447 and 523

Note that it 'might' be the same bug as #22468 (the cause looks the same
allright), with the difference that you get corrupted data on gentoo, and a
core dump on winblows...

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

// char ~ is 127 in ascii table, in xmlrpc.c '0' is subtracted, so we end
up with the number 79 used for every digit of every date part
// year = 79*1000+79*100+79*10+79, etc...
// from date_from_ISO8601, in line 161 in xmlrpc.c
// called from set_zval_xmlrpc_type in xmlrpc-epi-php.c

$params = '~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~';
$ok = xmlrpc_set_type ( $params, 'datetime' );
var_dump($ok);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
false

Actual result:
--------------
CRASH'N'BURN
