I don't ;)

I encountered this 'bug' while using PHPUnit, see:
http://www.phpunit.de/browser/phpunit/trunk/PHPUnit/Framework/TestCase.php#L370

Please tell us WHY do you want to serialize special super global arrays
like $GLOBALS in the first place?! That's propably the dummiest idea
ever..

Description:
------------
When serializing and later on deserializing the $GLOBALS array, global
objects aren't recreated.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Foo
{
	public $foo;
	public function __construct($foo)
	{
		$this->foo = $foo;
	}
}
$Foo = new Foo(34);
var_dump($GLOBALS['Foo']);

$s = serialize($GLOBALS);
$GLOBALS = unserialize($s);

var_dump($GLOBALS['Foo']);

Expected result:
----------------
object(Foo)#1 (1) {
  ["foo"]=>
  int(34)
}
object(Foo)#1 (1) {
  ["foo"]=>
  int(34)
}

Actual result:
--------------
object(Foo)#1 (1) {
  ["foo"]=>
  int(34)
}
int(1)
