Description:
------------
I know that the code below is senseless in this form, but I came across it accidentally.

This code prodcues a dump of $b object variable which contains two members - 'd' and a strange member shown as ':private'. The name is ':private' when the last line is not present. When this line (echo $a->{4} or similar) is put in the script, var_dump ($b) starts to produce a different dump on each script run. A sample output is shown below.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$a['d'] = 4;
$a[''] = 5;
$b =(object)$a;
var_dump($b);
echo $a->{4};


Expected result:
----------------
Maybe

object(stdClass)#1 (2) { array (['d'] => int(4), [''] => int(5)) }

Actual result:
--------------
A sample result is

object(stdClass)#1 (2) { ["d"]=>  int(4) ["?:private"]=>  int(5) }

But '?' is often another symbol or a sequence of symbols. Also it is sometimes just [":private"].

Assigned to myself.
IIRC I have even cooked a patch for it, but didn't apply for a reason.

Fixed in 5.1, I'll merge the fix to 5.0 & HEAD soon.
