I need more info, please.
What versions of php, webserver, MW, Lingo.
Also processor and os, please.

Curious. I don't see how that line could possibly trigger an error:
https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FLingo/1af144074f5e12bbee10f0e72aabff0ccd69b36c/LingoParser.php#L164

Googling for the error message does not yield much. Seems that there are some versions of PHP floating around that are buggy (hence the question for os and processor), but nothing specific, really.

I'll try debugging it, but I am not sure I can do anything.

Here's one possibility:

php > var_dump( '1.' . str_repeat( '1', 1000000 ) == '' );
PHP Fatal error:  Balloc() allocation exceeds list boundary in php shell code on line 1

In the MediaWiki parser, this was worked around a while back (see T10689) by replacing == with ===.

Thanks for the hint. So that error is probably a result of PHP trying to convert a string into a numeric value in order to compare it.
