Bug description:  $_GET variables are improper set when POST form submittion follows GET method

Here is the test (file test.php):

<HTML>
<BODY>
<FORM NAME=test.php METHOD=GET>
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=start value=1>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=SET>
</FORM>
<FORM NAME=test.php METHOD=POST>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=NOTSET>
</FORM>
<BR>
start value is: <?php echo $start ?><BR>
</BODY>
</HTML>

When you click "set" button in browser, $start variable will be 1, when
you click "notset" button after clicking "set" $start variable will be 1
also. Note: if register_globals is off you will need to use $_GET["start"]
instead of $start, but it works also. (Though the method was POST, $_GET
start variable should not be set)
