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

Please see the documentation of var_dump, without the second parameter it will automatically send the dump to the output buffer, return *nothing*, append *nothing* to '<pre>' and THEN output that.

All expected behaviour.
