[development] Seg fault in PHP (FormsAPI)? Can you reproduce?

[Tadej Baša]

On XAMPP - Apache + PHP 5.1 only this error occurs when I uncomment the 
faulty line...

Fatal error: Cannot create references to/from string offsets nor 
overloaded objects in D:\htdocs\drupal7\includes\form.inc on line 341

cheers,
tadej
