an object that is in a namespaced class that is serialized and then deserialized becomes a "__PHP_Incomplete_Class Object ( [__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name]". It seems serialize/deserialize don't understand namespaces.

Namespace app {
    class berries {
       public $name;
       public $quantity;
       function __construct($name=NULL) {
          $this->name = $name;
        }
}
$object = new app::berries("aberry");
$objecttext = serialize($object);
$objectnew = unserialize($objecttext);
print_r($objectnew);

It appears in var_unserializer.c that the old class_table lookup mechanism is being used, without the use of namespaces. If I can figure out how to fix it in the code I'll post the results. This problem is severely affecting my app :(

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged
every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can
grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/.
 
In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at
http://www.php.net/manual/.

In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show
up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
