isset() and the new VM

isset($arr[0]['id']) used to return false if $arr[0] is undefined, but
with the new VM it throws a warning.

Is this new behavior or a bug ?

I'd call it bugish, since part of the point of isset() is that it's never
supposed to throw notices on undefined vars/indices.

[sarag@cinco php5]$ sapi/cli/php -r 'error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
ini_set("display_errors", true); var_dump(isset($arr[0]));'
bool(false)
[sarag@cinco php5]$ sapi/cli/php -r 'error_reporting(E_ALL|E_STRICT);
ini_set("display_errors", true); var_dump(isset($arr[0][0]));'

Notice: Undefined variable: arr in Command line code on line 1
bool(false)

Hey,

I'm still a bit absent (my wife gave birth two days ago) but this email
popped out at me from the millions I haven't read yet.
Just commited a fix for the problem.
I'll hopefully catch up with all the emails on internals@ in the beginning
of next week.
