[PHP-DEV] Just checking something before posting a bug report

[Martin Alterisio]

I did as much as possible from the steps asked in the php bugs page, but
still I want to check with you folks before submitting a bug report.

I found a strange behavior in PHP 5.2.4. Try running the following code:

<?php
class Foo {
    static public $foo;

    function __toString() {
        self::$foo = $this;
        return 'foo';
    }
}

$foo = (string) new Foo();
var_dump(Foo::$foo);
?>

At the end of the script, the static var stores not the object but the
string returned by toString.
