Bug description:  Array returned from function with pointer at end

It is expected that the $msgs array passed back out of the test() function
call would have a pointer pointing to the first item. I confirmed that
this works correctly under PHP 4.0.6. 

It doesn't work under 4.2.1 either.

Notice the output of the print_r()

// TEST SCRIPT

$newmsgs = test();
print_r( current( $newmsgs ));
function test()
{
	$msgs[][a] = 10;
	$msgs[][b] = 20;
	$msgs[][c] = 30;
	$msgs[][d] = 40;
	$msgs[][e] = 50;

	while( list( $idx, $msg ) = each( $msgs ) )
	{
		
	}

	return $msgs;
}
