Ahh, thanks a lot, I missed that one... I guess this change is to 
optimize the performance of PHP somehow. Now I will have to make a 
search on my code base to see where I'm using more functions that use 
static variables to store the return value of a function (to speed stuff 
up) and change it on a way that is compatible...

static $var = array();

if(empty($var))
{
     $var = function_output();
}
