this is with current php-src: it looks related to recent changes to 
zend_API, maybe, i haven't tracked it down yet, figured someone here
could do that faster - and fix it too, heh:

   sh-2.05a# php -v
   PHP 5.0.0b2-dev (cli) (built: Aug 24 2003 12:40:08) (DEBUG)

   sh-2.05a# php -r 'class foo { var $x = array(); }'

   Fatal error: Internal zval's can't be arrays, objects or resources in 
Unknown on line 0

Yes, just moving the ARRAY cases in zend_API.c and zend_variables.c
stopped the error, and so far it *seems* to work. that can't be
real fix, but i hope it is helpful (diffs attached)
