Bug description:  decimal values fed to DateTime->modify() causes long execution times

Description:
------------
Feeding a decimal value to DateTime's modify() function can cause very 
long execution times because the decimal point is ignored.

Reproduced on the php5.3-200808200230 snapshot. 





Reproduce code:
---------------
$date = new DateTime(); 
$date->modify("+1.61538461538 day"); 

Expected result:
----------------
A warning or exception, or perhaps 1 day + 0.61538461538*24 hours added.

Actual result:
--------------
after 32 seconds of execution, 161538461538 days are added to the date
