Description:
------------
If you convert a non-empty string to an array with object as value, you get a segmentation fault. Tested on Gentoo Linux and Solaris with Apache 2 and PHP 5.2.3. Theres no segmentation fault when converting for example a scalar variable but an error message as expected.

Also tested from shell using:

 # echo '<?php $foo="50";$foo[0]->bar="xyz"; ?>' | /opt/php5/bin/php
 Segmentation fault

Reproduce code:
---------------
$foo="50";
$foo[0]->bar="xyz";

Expected result:
----------------
An error message of some sort.

Actual result:
--------------
From apache logs:

[Tue Jun 26 18:03:23 2007] [notice] child pid 16155 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
