Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Description:
------------
So much wrong here ...
The initial intention was to get back into global namespace using the
"namespace X;" syntax. (Why isn't this possible? Neither as namespace;
namespace \; ... not even namespace \\;)
Curiously, "namespace \" expected the name of a constant.
Even more curiously, "namespace \foo" is looking for the constant "foo"
in the *current* namespace.
If the constant exists, the namespace directive is simply ignored.
If it does not, the script dies with a fatal error.
Reproduce code:
---------------
namespace Foo;
const Bar = "Blob";
namespace \Bar;
function x() { echo __NAMESPACE__; }
x();
Expected result:
----------------
Pretty much everything else than the actual result ... but at least
"Bar" or "Blob"
Actual result:
--------------
Foo
