Error with latest PHP using xampp/lampp

Description:
Screenshot of a Mediawiki error

Using the latest builds (by extension the latest builds of PHP) of xammp/lammp I receive an error with anything that access hooks.php. The error is as follows "Warning: Parameter 1 to ConfirmEditHooks::confirmEditMerged() expected to be a reference, value given in ***\w\includes\Hooks.php on line 132"
That error is with the extension confirmedit and it occurs after hitting "save page". The same error can be seen with SimpleCalender and parts of the SocialProfile extension. The error happens on all builds of the software. It would appear that I am not the only one who is complaining of this problem, it can be read all over the ConfirmEdit talk page. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:ConfirmEdit
As you only have Windows Vista I choose that given it's close relation to Windows 7, but I ran my server from a computer running Windows 7, however this issue only appeared after updating xammp/lammp. I have also been able to replicate the error on Windows xp in a virtual environment. Downgrading appears to rid you of the error.
I have attached a screen of the error, also my site is down so I can not show you more than the screen.
