Description:
------------
When register_globals is on one would expect the registered globals to
be the same values as the variables accessed through the global
arrays.

$remote_addr doesn't always return the IP of the visitor to the site
but the IP of another visitor to another site on the same server.

$server_name doesn't always return the host name for the site being
visited, but that of another site being hosted on the same server.

Reproduce code:
---------------
	echo '$SERVER_NAME';
	echo " ";
	echo "$SERVER_NAME";
	echo "<br>";

	echo '$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]';
	echo " ";
	echo "$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME]";
	echo "<br>";


Expected result:
----------------
$SERVER_NAME www.p800.co.uk
$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME] www.p800.co.uk

Actual result:
--------------
$SERVER_NAME www.p800.co.uk
$_SERVER[SERVER_NAME] www.symbos.co.uk
