Subject: An BC issue in unserialize
From: laruence@php.net (Laruence)

Hey:

     I was trying play with OroCRM.  then I find a BC break in PHP-5.6

     the usage is :


         /**
     * Creates a new instance of the mapped class, without invoking
the constructor.
     *
     * @return object
     */
    public function newInstance()
    {
        if ($this->_prototype === null) {
            $this->_prototype = unserialize(sprintf('O:%d:"%s":0:{}',
strlen($this->name), $this->name));
        }

        return clone $this->_prototype;
    }

    it works fine in PHP-5.5,  but in 5.6 ,  the serialize will fail
after fix 5328d4289946e260232f3195ba2e0f0eb173d5ef

   then I found, Stas did a re-fix for that:
342240fd7fb6ac0a287eb6f912c4d61d6274d68c

   but it seems doesn't go into 5.6..

   I am not sure now.  should this usage be supported?

thanks
