Operating system: 
PHP version:      5CVS-2005-12-16 (CVS)
PHP Bug Type:     Scripting Engine problem
Bug description:  Incompatibility in reference handling

Description:
------------
When an assingment is passed as a function argument that is expected to be
passed by reference, an E_STRICT message is thrown: "<b>Strict
Standards</b>:  Only variables should be passed by reference" and the
reference is lost.

This was not the case in 5.1.1


Reproduce code:
---------------
function foo(&$a) {
    $a = 1;
}

foo($a = 0);
var_dump($a);


Expected result:
----------------
int(1)

Actual result:
--------------
int(0)
