Description:
------------
According to documentation, comparison operators (like ==) have higher priority than bitwise ones (like &). 
However, the ==operator has higher precedence than &.

It was tested on Debian Squeeze (PHP 5.3.2-1 with Suhosin-Patch) and Debian Lenny (PHP 5.2.6-1+lenny9 with Suhosin-Patch 0.9.6.2).


Test script:
---------------
$flag = 1;
var_dump($flag & 3 == 1);
var_dump(($flag & 3) == 1);

Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
bool(true)

Actual result:
--------------
int(0)
bool(true)

Higher precedence implies "tighter binding", so 
var_dump($flag & 3 == 1);
is the same as
var_dump($flag & (3 == 1));
Both of these return
int(0)

Ah, sorry, I've read the docs not very careful :(
Ticket should be closed.
