Description:
------------
When __set() returns an element of a member array, it seems to corrupt the array. Works as expected when "return" is removed. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Test {
	var $values;
	
	function __construct() {
		$this->values = array();
	}

	function __set($name, $value) {
		return $this->values[$name] = $value;
	}

	function __get($name) {
		return $this->values[$name];
	}
};

$a = new Test();
$a->greeting = "Hello";
echo $a->greeting;

Expected result:
----------------
Hello

Actual result:
--------------
1

I think it was marked bogus because you don't actually need to return from __set(). The engine will call __get() when you have something like $a = $object->prop = "Hello".

Okay, but it still shouldn't act screwy when you do 
return that value. It should just ignore the return 
value of __set().
