[development] Call time pass-by-reference for PHP 5.4

[Michael Prasuhn]

Call time pass by reference has produced a deprecated warning since PHP 5.3 and as far as I know has been removed entirely from Drupal 7 and I'm pretty sure it's not even found in Drupal 6. Note that contrib obviously varies wildly and could still have call time pass by reference issues.
