Hi,
Please find attached a patch for http://uk3.php.net/__destruct to hopefully
make it a little clearer.
I tried to use edit.php.net, but it told me that this file had been modified by
"Anonymous #2095", so I couldn't save it there.
In case the attachment doesn't work, the diff text is:

Basically, the current text implies that explicitly destroying the object will
call __destruct() regardless of whether there are any other references to it,
which is not how it works as unset() will only call __destruct() if there are
no other references to the object.
