Description:
------------
When a multidimentional superglobal is used to feed ArrayObjet, the first unset of a sub-index is ignored.

- it is ok with a "normal" array, I've seen this only with $_REQUEST and $_GET

- it is ok with $_GET as a simple array (one dimension)

- the second call to unset() succeed, either if is the exact same call or if I try to unset another index, only the first fails

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

// call the script with ?index[i]=1&index[j]=2

$ao = new ArrayObject( $_GET ) ;

unset( $ao['index']['i'] ) ;  // ignored
var_dump($ao) ;

unset( $ao['index']['j'] ) ; // ok
var_dump($ao) ;

unset( $ao['index']['i'] ) ; // ok
var_dump($ao) ;

Expected result:
----------------
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) { 
    ["index"]=>  array(2) {
         ["i"]=>  string(1) "1"
         ["j"]=>  string(1) "2" 
    }
}
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) { 
    ["index"]=>  array(1) {
         ["i"]=>  string(1) "1"
    }
}
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) { 
    ["index"]=>  array(0) {
    }
}

Actual result:
--------------
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) { 
    ["index"]=>  array(1) {
         ["j"]=>  string(1) "1"
    }
}
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) { 
    ["index"]=>  array(0) {
    }
}
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) { 
    ["index"]=>  array(0) {
    }
}

Well, sorry, I have put Actual Result and Expected result in the wrong order.

Valgrind also reports several errors in this code:
<?php
$ao = new ArrayObject( $_GET ) ;
unset( $ao['index']['i'] ) ;
?>

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

  http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz
 
For Windows:
 
  http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

The $__GET if still present is most likely related to super global handling.

At least i get the expected result using the following:

marcus@zaphod /usr/src/PHP_5_2 $ php -r '$ao = new ArrayObject(array("index"=>array("i"=>42))); unset($ao["index"]["i"]); var_dump($ao);'
make: `sapi/cli/php' is up to date.
object(ArrayObject)#1 (1) {
  ["index"]=>
  array(0) {
  }
}
