Description:
------------
The class of $this changes after the instantiation of a class which 
extends PDO, and which specifies PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT attribute.



Reproduce code:
---------------
class Foo extends PDO {
	function __construct($dsn) {
		parent::__construct($dsn, null, null, array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));
	}
}

class Baz extends PDO {
	function __construct($dsn) {
		parent::__construct($dsn, null, null, array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));
	}
}

class Bar extends Baz {
	function quux() {
		echo get_class($this), "\n";
		$foo = new Foo("sqlite::memory:");
		echo get_class($this), "\n";
	}
}

$bar = new Bar("sqlite::memory:");
$bar->quux();



Expected result:
----------------
Bar
Bar

i.e. get_class($this) returns the same value each time

Actual result:
--------------
Bar
Foo

i.e. $this gets mangled

A simpler case might be:

class MyPDO extends PDO {}

$bar = new PDO("sqlite::memory:", null, null, 
array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));
$baz = new MyPDO("sqlite::memory:", null, null, 
array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));

var_dump ($bar);
var_dump ($baz);

It looks like it internally caches the object, not just the 
connection..

Tested on Fedora Core 6, latest snaps of both 5.2 and 5.3 branch.
