Description:
------------
Turns out if the first argument(array) provided is smaller than the second one, it always return the empty array.

Test script:
---------------
<?
var_dump(
        array_diff_key(
            [
                'a'=>1,
            ], 
            [
                'a'=>1,
                'b'=>1
            ]
        )
    );

Expected result:
----------------
array(0) { ["b"]=> int(1) }

Actual result:
--------------
array(0) { }
