for(;;) no longer works right.

Code like as follows hangs forever.

<?

 for(;;)
 {
 }

?>

Code like this gives a parser error.

<?

 for(Unset($z);;)
 {
 }

?>

<b>Parse error</b>:  parse error, expecting `';'' in <b>y.php</b> on line <b>3</b><br>

unset() is a statement and not an expression. It can't be used as an expression in the for expression. I don't think this worked with PHP 3.0 either.
