Description:
------------
When accessing a simplexml node as array, I always get an empty simplexml object. 

If I cast the node to string, the behaviour is correct. 

If the parent node contains nothing but the child node (not even a newline) then 
the behaviour is also correct.

Under php 5.3, the behaviour is correct.

Test script:
---------------
$rec1 = simplexml_load_string("<foo><bar>aa</bar>\n</foo>");
$rec2 = simplexml_load_string("<foo><bar>aa</bar></foo>");

if ($rec1->bar[0])      echo "NONEMPTY1\n"; # not reached, bug
if ($rec1->bar[0] . "") echo "NONEMPTY2\n"; # correct
if ($rec2->bar[0])      echo "NONEMPTY3\n"; # correct


Expected result:
----------------
NONEMPTY1
NONEMPTY2
NONEMPTY3


Actual result:
--------------
NONEMPTY2
NONEMPTY3

I forgot: Omitting the [0] array access will also fix the problem.

The other bug is said to have been fixed in svn, however my bug still happens in 
the current version from svn.

It seems commit 311171 broke it:

After further investigation it turned out that this is a duplicate
