Description:
------------
ArrayIterator::rewind() doesn't rewind to first element, but to second.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$i = new ArrayIterator(array(1,2,3,4,5,6));

$r = false; # To prevent looping infinitely.

foreach($i as $j) {
        if ($j == 4 && $r == false) {
                $i->rewind();
                $r = true;
        }   
        echo $j.",";
}

Expected result:
----------------
1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5,6,

Actual result:
--------------
1,2,3,4,2,3,4,5,6,

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is expected behaviour due to the way that iterators work with foreach.  When 
$j is 4, the iterator gets rewound. At this point $j is still 4 which is then 
echoed.  Then when going on to the next iteration (where you expect to get $j = 1) 
the $i->next() method is called, moving to the second item.
