Description:
------------
Function array map should produce a new numeric array containing values returned from the callback. This works fine most of the time but apparently if input array_unique is called on input array before calling array_map the new array preserves the numeric indexes.

This further causes issues with json_encode and instead of array of values it encodes the objects with numeric indexes as json object keys. 

Calling array_values before json_encode or array_map solves the issue in userland but I think this breaks the specification of array_map.

Test script:

Expected result:
----------------

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 returned array will preserve the keys of the array argument if and only if exactly one array is passed.

Would the behavior make more sense if I pointed out that array_unique also preserves keys?
