Hi there,

I didn't know whether to make an official bug report or send to the list -- 
so I'm trying this first. :-)

var_dump(array_count_values(array('  001', 1, '  1  ', '1')));

Expected result (and what PHP 4 gives):
array(3) {
  ["   001"]=>
  int(1)
  [1]=>
  int(2)
  ["  1  "]=>
  int(1)
}

Actual result:
array(2) {
  [1]=>
  int(3)
  ["  1  "]=>
  int(1)
}

Can this patch please be applied for 5.2's release?  To maintain what I'm
sure is the correct behavior from PHP 4, the function needs to use the
zend_[u_]symtable* functions, which take care of *correctly* handling
numeric strings, as zend_hash_[find|update] did in 4.x.  If they would've
been used in 5+ in the first place, there wouldn't have been bugs like
#34723 (still present with leading whitespace, as you can see), #30833,
#29808, etc. (I guess that's all, actually). :-)

The updated code should be faster, too...
