Summary

0002973: Call-time pass by reference returns screwy results from substr()

Description

Found this one in some third-party code. The code is technically not really correct, but Quercus fails strangely:

<?php
$foo = "test me";
$bar = substr(&$foo, 3, 3);
print $bar;

Vanilla PHP prints "t m", and logs a warning about pass-by-reference. Quercus prints ".ca" which I suspect is really just random junk (though it seems to be the same junk every time I run the test.)
