Description:
------------
This might be related to #5052. The code below illustrates the problem pretty well -- the class method should be returning a fresh copy of the field but in fact the return value is sharing the foreach-counter so that nested foreaches break. If I do something to force a copy, like "$foo->_member =& $foo->_member" (I have no idea *why* this forces a copy), then it works.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class foo {
        var $_member = array(1, 2, 3);
        function member() {
                return $this->_member;
        }
}
$foo = new foo();
#$foo->_member =& $foo->_member;

$size = 0;
foreach ($foo->member() as $v) {
        $size++;
        foreach ($foo->member() as $v) {}
}
if ($size < count($foo->member())) die("BUG FOUND");


Expected result:
----------------
I expect $size == count($foo->member()). If you uncomment the commented line, it works.

Actual result:
--------------
The inner foreach iterates through every value, but the outer foreach only iterates through the first value.

My intranet project appears to be having problems due to this bug.  I am running PHP Version 5.1.2.  I noticed that this bug was originally filed against PHP 4.3.11, and can file a seperate report if I need to.

The phpinfo file on my server:

http://www.planetsaphire.com/phpinfo.php

On wwwbiz, if I have an inventory category three leaves or more deep, it will not be matched to a higher leaf, which causes the script to call my error_dbdown() function.  This is being caused by the foreach() syntax, and it happens regardless if I use the reference operator or not.

My project was missing the following code after calling a recursive function.  As a result, my project does not re-produce the bug described in this report:

/* Let's sort through the subcategory's arrays. */
$retval = 
$this->getProperItem($priv_item, $relationNum);
if ( $retval != NULL )
{
	return $retval;
}

following up on this bug, we have test code similar to what was shown, the problem still exists in both 4.4.7 and 4.4.8.
