Description:
------------
When magic_quotes_gpc is on, it ignores the keys of array values in $_GET etc, despite escaping keys of scalar values and all keys in contained arrays. For example, the query string ?a'b=1 yields $_GET[a\'b] = 1, but ?a'b[a'b]=1 yields $_GET[a'b][a\'b] = 1.

http://www.rajeczy.com/compat_gpc_tests.txt

Reproduce code:
---------------
?a'b[a'b]=1

Expected result:
----------------
$_GET[a\'b][a\'b] = 1

Actual result:
--------------
$_GET[a'b][a\'b] = 1

NB: I specified 5.2.1 to keep the bug tracker happy, but as you can see from the linked tests, this bug is present in every version I tested (>= 4.2.0).

This seems to fix it (as in the equivalent line for scalar values on 198):
