Description:
------------
If an interface defines a constant and is then implemented by a class which is then extended with a further class and both classes implement the interface, the second class may override the interface constant without a fatal error. Also present in 5.2.10 on FreeBSD 7.2

Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: language.oop5.interfaces
---
http://codepad.org/vStYX1Kz

Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error:  Cannot inherit previously-inherited constant c from interface ia ... on line 18

Actual result:
--------------
Program outputs "OceanSea" which indicates that the interface constant is still available but the class constant with the same name overrides it.

<?php

interface ia {
    const c = 'Sea';
}

class Foo implements ia {
	
	// const c = "Lake";  
	
	// Attempting to override ia's constant c in
	// this class triggers a fatal error.
	
}

class FooBar extends Foo implements ia {
	
	const c = 'Ocean'; // No error, class constant
	 		   // overriding ia's definition.
	
	public function show(){
		// ia's definition is still accessible.
	  return ia::c;
	}
}

$i = new FooBar;
echo FooBar::c;
echo $i->show();
