Description:
------------
I set a static class var to $_SESSION ($varname 
= 'SESSION'; self::$$varname = $_SESSION;) and after some 
method calls and requires no new variable can be set in a 
method of the class.

This problem occurs not if i set self::$$varname = 
&$_SESSION;

tested with php 5.1.4, 5.1.6 and php 5.2.0RC5-dev 
(php5.2-200609172030)

Reproduce code:
---------------
Some more lines than 20:

http://degola.de/phpbug/

Expected result:
----------------
in line 41 the variable $classArray have to be Array ()

Actual result:
--------------
no new variable can be set, see http://degola.de/phpbug/

yu cannot do this :

$var = $_SESSION;

or 

$_SESSION = array(1,2,3,4,5);

because $_SESSION loose it's "magical" atributes then. and that is, the expected behaviuor.

Hm, i think its not really a good behaviour that i after 
some calls can't use new variables in methods. Perhaps it 
could be a better way to throw an exception, warning or 
error if I'm trying to assign the magic then 
doing "nothing" :-).
