Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is expected for PHP < 5.1. In PHp 5.1 and 6.0 this will work just fine. The reasoning is that you have:
first = 1
next  = 2
third = 3
and follows the GNU standards. We did decide to fix this in PHP 5.1 though.
