Subject: Class Baz contains 1 abstract methods and must therefore be
	declared abstract (Baz::run)
From: thekid@thekid.de (Timm Friebe)

Fails: "Fatal error: Class Baz contains 1 abstract methods and must
therefore be declared abstract (Baz::run)" (expected behaviour):

<?php
  class Baz {
    abstract function run();
  }
?>

Works (no error message, is instantiable):

<?php
  class Bar { }
  class Foo extends Bar {
    abstract function run();
  }
?>

Is this correct? Why would this differ for inherited classes? And why
are these checks performed at runtime?
