Lowering priority. The notices are harmless, not shown by default, and don't occur on the current PHP
stable release (5.0.4).

Marking dependent on bug 2885; or perhaps this should be marked duplicate.

PHP 4.4.0 in fact complains in some places that PHP 5.1.0beta3 does not. Sigh...

Marking tentatively fixed in CVS HEAD.

I haven't exhaustively tested every feature, but so far so good.
