You're right, it does work. It's not exactly better than knowing what's wrong, though... it's different. I already had a workaround, although it was not quite as elegant. My desire now is to find out whether the behavior I described is due to something I don't understand about PHP, or to a bug. If it's something I don't understand, I want to understand it. If it's a bug, I want to report it.
