Description:
------------
When using list() to assign variable values returned by gettimeofday(), the assignments do not appear to occur.  Using print_r() shows that gettimeofday() appears to be returning array values fine.

Reproduce code:
---------------
An interactive session:


[paul@paul php5-STABLE-200508150842]$ ./sapi/cgi/php -qa
Interactive mode enabled

<?
print_r(gettimeofday());
Array
(
    [sec] => 1124102986
    [usec] => 124728
    [minuteswest] => -60
    [dsttime] => 0
)
list($a,$b,$c,$d)=gettimeofday();
echo "$a,$b,$c,$d\n";
,,,


Expected result:
----------------
echo "$a,$b,$c,$d\n";
1124102986,124728,-60,0

Actual result:
--------------
echo "$a,$b,$c,$d\n";
,,,


(see session above)

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

list() only works with indexed arrays:
