Description:
------------
In some cases, ReflectionClass::newInstance() and ReflectionClass::newInstanceArgs() can trigger a segmentation fault when the constructor of the reflected class takes arguments by reference.

Tested on PHP 5.2.5-dev (cli) (built: Oct 15 2007 12:04:27) on Win XP.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
Class C {
	function __construct(&$x) {
		$x = "x.changed";
	}
}

$x = "x.original";
new C($x); // OK
var_dump($x);

$rc = new ReflectionClass('C');
$x = "x.original";
$rc->newInstance($x); // causes crash
var_dump($x);
$x = "x.original";
$rc->newInstanceArgs(array($x)); // causes crash	
var_dump($x);
?>

Expected result:
----------------
string(9) "x.changed"
string(9) "x.changed"
string(10) "x.original"

Actual result:
--------------
string(9) "x.changed"
*CRASH*
