split() seems to be truncating data when using a limit
argument, eg.

<?php
$x = split("-", "a-b-c-d", 2);
print $x[1];
?>

this should produce "b", but it produces "b-c-d" instead.

this is the installation of PHP 3.0.12 used on www.iserver.com's accounts.

i believe bug #1570 is the same problem.

no #1570 was the other way round

the last array elemnt returned by split with limit
is to contain the rest of the input string,
only the first (limit-1) elements contain 'true splits'

(the documentation is not clear in this case, i'll
fix that later)
