Description:
------------
Hi,

PHP throws a fatal error when code like this is processed:

$my_var = (true)?(&$some_obj):(&$some_other_obj->some_arr_pop[]);

Which is not a problem if put like this of course:

$my_var;
if(true){
  $my_var = &$some_obj;
}else{
  $my_var = &$some_other_obj->some_arr_pop[];
}

Affects both PHP 5.2.x and 5.3.x
