I also experienced this problem with the snapshot
php4-win32-STABLE-200506132030.zip

As to what practical use is it? I have lots of old code that is
affected by this.

Could you give us some real world example instead..?

let the sample code say the problem
<?

function &Ref_Bad(&$arr) { return true ? $arr : $arr; }
function &Ref_Good(&$arr) { if (true) return $arr; else return $arr; }

$arr = array('a' => '1');

$arr_bad =& Ref_Bad($arr);
$arr_good =& Ref_Good($arr);

$arr_bad['b'] = 2;
$arr_good['c'] = 3;

print_r($arr);
?>

required result:
Array
(
    [a] => 1
    [b] => 2
    [c] => 3
)

current result:
Array
(
    [a] => 1
    [c] => 3
)
