Subject: Unexpected behavior for ::
From: bogdan.bezuz@emag.ro (Bogdan Bezuz)

Hello,
I'm not sure if this is the desired behavior and i don't want to submit 
a bogus bug report.

class A
{
     public function f1()
     {
         var_dump($this->_b);
     }
}

class B
{
     public $_b = 'stuff';

     public function f2()
     {
         A::f1();
     }
}

$b = new B();
$b->f2();

At first i would expect an error since A was not instantiated, at most i 
would expect to return NULL but not 'stuff'.
Is this a bug ?
