Description:
------------
When I use extract() with array, that contains key "this", it behaves really weird. See code for more info.

Reproduce code:
---------------
class Test1 {
	var $name = "test1";
}

class Test2 {
	var $name = "test2";

	function bug() {
		extract(array("this"=>new Test1()), EXTR_OVERWRITE | EXTR_REFS);
		echo get_class($this)."::name = ".$this->name;
	}
}

$t = new Test2();
$t->bug();


Expected result:
----------------
Test1::name = test1 (preferably)
OR
Test2::name = test2
- not combination of both.

Actual result:
--------------
Test1::name = test2

With latest version downloaded just now (5.2.9RC4-dev) same result as with RC2 (Test1::name = test2).

I think your second proposal on expected behavior would be more 
correct, rewriting $this doesn't seem right :p Below is a simple 
patch:
