Don't know how that is possible in your version of PHP 5.0.0 RC3, but
in mine (I'm testing RC3 available on www.php.net not the latest
version from CVS) the bug is still there (result is the same as I
described in "Actual Result").

Results on RC3:
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => Z
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => Z
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => Array
*RECURSION*
)
)
Seems as aspected results

Description:
------------
Create an array $b and set some of its item to reference the array
itself by =& operator. Then assign this array to some other variable.
This assignment (*) makes something wrong in the array $b because if
you change $b's items after this assignment the structure of array $b
is changed.
However, if that assignment (*) doesn't take place the behavior is
correct.
Reproduce code:
---------------
$b = array(1,2,3,4);
$b[4] =& $b;
// this assignment probably makes changes to $b's structure
$c = $b;
$b[1] = 'X';
$b[4][1] = 'Y';
$b[4][4][1] = 'Z';
print_r($b);
Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => Z
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => Array
*RECURSION*
)
Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => X
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => Y
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => Z
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
[3] => 4
[4] => Array
*RECURSION*
)
)
)
)
