The problem is when smarty have seperate files for core function etc. and uses $this when there is no class definition in that file. The file might be included from inside another class, like Smarty.class.php (this is how i understood it works at least), and therefore referer to $this as the class that includes the file. (Correct me if im wrong). PHP5-cvs results in a fatal error when $this is used as a variable outside any class, even if the file is going to be included inside a class... otherwise php5-cvs is backward compatible, the rules are just more strict.
