Mysqlnd active connections number is too big. Is this normal?

Question

I have Windows 2003 Server. Apache 2.4.10, PHP 5.4.31 and MySQL 5.6.19 installed. There are two wordpress website running on server.

In the phpinfo(); under mysqlnd section there says;

active_connections  18446744073709551563

is this number normal? If not how can I reduce it?

Answer 1

Old post, but this will help everyone else googling for this. (Much like me for hours today...) https://lists.mysql.com/mysql/154232

It appears that -1 shows up as 18446744073709551613

Edit: This appears to be a PHP-related bug, per further investigation.
