Description:
------------
I can broke 'GLOBALS' array and 'GLOBALS' items doesn't equal 'GLOBALS' var.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
	$a = unserialize(serialize($GLOBALS));
	$a['GLOBALS'] = 2;
	$GLOBALS = $a;

	print_r($GLOBALS['GLOBALS']);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [GLOBALS] => Array
 *RECURSION*

et cetera

Actual result:
--------------
2

But this example prints full GLOBALS:

<?
 $a = array_merge(array(), $GLOBALS);
 $a['GLOBALS'] = 2;

 $GLOBALS = $a;
 print_r($GLOBALS['GLOBALS']);
?>

There is an inconsistency between the two behaviours

I can also shoot myself in my leg but I don't do that since it would be stupid..

You can do any stupid thing you want, but this is not PHP problem.
