When calling mysql_fetch_array($foo) and $foo is not a valid resource identifier (not even a defined variable), the function call will return data from the last successful query instead erroring. 

This makes it very difficult to debug your code because you may return data from a different query. Instead the function should return nothing so that you know to look at your function call arguments.

Sorry it didn't get to this in a timely fashion. I have just verified it with 4.1.0 final and it works properly. Thank you much.
