Description:
------------
When bcscale() is used as setter, the modifications persist across
requests.  This is contrary to changing bcmath.scale via
ini_set().


Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(bcscale(42));
?>


Expected result:
----------------
1st request: int(0)
2nd request: int(0)


Actual result:
--------------
1st request: int(0)
2nd request: int(42)
