Hello Tim,

just for the record: why does MediaWiki rely on a feature
"Call-Time-Pass-By-Reference" that is deprecated since PHP 4.0.0 <-
Yes exactly 4.0.0
What happened between 5.3.0 and 5.3.1 is that stas killed that feature
for internal functions to work around a big security problem in the
design of the Zend Engine.
Considering the fact that the feature is DEPRECATED since 4.0.0 it
would even be okay to kill it for all functions.
