Check if your display_errors is set to 0 (zero)

display_errors was set to 1. Changed it to 0, same result.

That's strange. With cli/Linux, I get this for both trunk and PHP 5.3

PHP Catchable fatal error:  Object of class Closure could not be converted to 
string in /home/yohgaki/ext/svn/oss/php.net/php-src/t3.php on line 3

Try with cli binary.
