This better be fixed before PHP 5.3.0 goes out - hence critical..

Oh, sorry. I misread your report. Thanks Greg.

I think this is a valid bug - we store classes with lower-cased name,
but store the original CaSeD name in the class.  runtime define() should
perform the same steps that compile-time define() does to ensure the
namespaced constant is accessible in the same way.  It's a bit slower,
but more accurate.  I'd say move this back to scripting engine, but I'll
leave it up to felipe.

I know it is during runtime, but instead of marking it as bogus, would
be better to document it.
I'm changing the category.
This behaviour has to be documented, or fixed. Is it possible to remap
to lowercase internally the result of the
define('CaSe::Sensitive::const')? Or is undesirable from consistant POV?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to
report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The define() works in runtime.
