Description:
------------
I am assigning a session var $_SESSION['name'] and then assign a local var $name, which overwrites the first session var when I reload the page.

NOTE: this bug only occours when reloading the page. It seams, that PHP has a reference $name = $_SESSION['name'] saved, the second time this script is executed. Am I missing anything??

Reproduce code:
---------------
$_SESSION['name']=array("One","Two");

echo "Session 1:\n";
var_dump($_SESSION['name']);

// the following line also changes $_SESSION['name']
// when the session was already set bevore (on reload)
$name = array();

echo "Session 2:\n";
var_dump($_SESSION['name']);


Expected result:
----------------
Session 1: array(2) { [0]=>  string(3) "One" [1]=>  string(3) "Two" } Session 2: array(2) { [0]=>  string(3) "One" [1]=>  string(3) "Two" }



/* the above result is displayed the first time, but when I reload the page... */

Actual result:
--------------
Session 1: array(2) { [0]=>  string(3) "One" [1]=>  string(3) "Two" } Session 2: array(0) { }



/* on reload, the above output is given */
