Description:
------------
1) Output m headers with the same name using header($header, false) 
2) Output n (n > m) headers with the same name using header($header, true)

Result) headers will not be replaced totally.

/**
 * PHP VERSION 5.3.0
 */

header('Set-Cookie: name1=; path=/; domain=.simple.ru', false);
header('Set-Cookie: name2=; path=/; domain=.simple.ru', false);
header('Set-Cookie: name3=; path=/; domain=.simple.ru', true);
header('Set-Cookie: name4=; path=/; domain=.simple.ru', true);
header('Set-Cookie: name5=; path=/; domain=.simple.ru', true);

print_r(headers_list());

?>

Expected result:

Array
(
    [0] => Set-Cookie: name5=; path=/; domain=.simple.ru
)

Actual result:
--------------
Array
(
    [0] => Set-Cookie: name4=; path=/; domain=.simple.ru

The second parameter 'replace' for header() function only replaces the first header found in FIFO manner, retaining all the remaining headers.

cf. main/SAPI.c calling zend_llist_del_element() in Zend/zend_llist.c (looked 5.3 branch and trunk)

Test script:
---------------
<?php
header('X-Foo: 1', true);
header('X-Foo: 2', false);
print_r(headers_list());
header('X-Foo: 3', true);
print_r(headers_list());
header('X-Foo: 4', false);
print_r(headers_list());
header('X-Foo: 5', true);
print_r(headers_list());

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [0] => X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.6
    [1] => X-Foo: 1
    [2] => X-Foo: 2
)
Array

    [0] => X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.6
