Description:
------------
In regard to bug #29493 (would have added a comment to it if I could)

--

This fix seems to have been backported to PHP 4.3.9, now we get other errors. 

In the example below $acopy is a reference to $arr['acopy'] and $a is also a reference to $arr['acopy'], when actually $a should have been separated from $arr['acopy'] when extract() makes the $acopy reference to $arr['acopy'] since   the array is created with 'acopy' => $a

$b, $arr['bref'] and $bref should and does however all point to the same value as they should since the array is created with 'bref' => &$b

Reproduce code:
------------


Reproduce code:
---------------
$a = 1; $b = 1;
$arr = array('acopy' => $a, 'bref' => &$b);

extract($arr, EXTR_REFS);

$acopy++;
$bref++;

debug_zval_dump($a, $b, $arr, $acopy, $bref);

Expected result:
----------------
(As seen on PHP < 4.3.9):

$a: long(1) refcount(2)
$b: long(2) refcount(1)
$arr: array(2) refcount(2){
  ["acopy"]=>
  &long(2) refcount(2)
  ["bref"]=>
  &long(2) refcount(3)
}
$acopy: long(2) refcount(1)
$bref: long(2) refcount(1)

Note: Shouldn't the refcount of $a be == 1 instead of 2. $a should be a separate zval while $arr['acopy'] and $acopy should be references to the same value as indicated by the refcount of 2

Actual result:
--------------
$a is now == 2, when it should be == 1. Only $arr['acopy'] should be == 2

$a: long(2) refcount(1)
$b: long(2) refcount(1)
$arr: array(2) refcount(2){
  ["acopy"]=>
  &long(2) refcount(3)
  ["bref"]=>
  &long(2) refcount(3)
}
$acopy: long(2) refcount(1)
$bref: long(2) refcount(1)

I discussed this briefly with Dmitry - it's not an easy fix and touching it creates other problems. We decided to suspend it until we've more time to look at it.

That test seems to fail in HEAD now too..

Fixed in CVS HEAD, PHP_5_0 and PHP_4_4.
