Hi,

I don't know whether it should be fixed or not, but it definitely shouldn't 
have received resolution "Bogus" in the bugbase.

"Bogus" means the issue doesn't exist as described, is not caused by PHP, or 
it's part of the expected, intended, documented behavior of the language. In 
this case the issue is an undocumented edge case, it's counterintuitive, and 
it's reproducible with the provided code. If it not feasible to fix due to 
performance reason, the resolution should be "Won't Fix".

Marking a real issue as a bogus one deprives people who work on PHP from 
having a handy log of issues that could be reviewed and possibly fixed at a 
later point as the egine changes and a solution no longer is a BC or 
performance issue. It's also insulting to the submitter, who took from his 
time to file an actual problem and was basically dismissed as uninformed on 
the issue.

Regards,
Stan Vassilev
