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

The manual states:

| An associative array containing *references* to all variables
| which are currently defined in the global scope of the script.
