[horde] php-4.4.0 woes

Unfortunately this is very, very wrong. Folks, DO NOT go around 
modifying your code in this way; it _will_ break things.

Joeri, please be careful about making statements like this. This simply 
isn't how references work in php4.

There are already 3-4 duplicate bug reports. Feel free to add notices 
that aren't already fixed, but please make COMPLETELY sure you're using 
the very latest CVS to test and that you're not duplicating existing 
reports.
