Bug description:Unable to call inherited protected __construct

Description:
------------
Protected visibility allows accessing parent members and also members of
parent's children. If class A defines protected method f() and classes B
and C are children of A then B can call C::f(). This is true for all
methods except __construct().

Test script:
---------------
class A {

        protected function __construct() {

        }

}



class B extends A {

        static function test() {

                new C;

        }

}



class C extends A {

        protected function __construct() {

                echo "OK\n";

        }

}



B::test();



Expected result:
----------------
OK

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to protected C::__construct() from context 'B' on line 9
