Bug description:  Incorrect scope for static variables in object methods

Description:
------------
When a variable is declared static within an object method, it's scope is
spread across all instantiated objects of the class.

This is not a static class variable, nor is it in a static class method,
it is in a method that requires an instantiated object, operates within the
context of that object, and should have the object scope.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class TestClass {
  public function test($val = NULL) {
    static $stored = 'empty';
    if ($val) {
      $stored = $val;
    }
    return $stored;
  }
}

$a = new TestClass();
echo $a->test() ."\n";
echo $a->test('alpha') ."\n";
$b = new TestClass();
echo $b->test() ."\n";
echo $b->test('bravo') ."\n";
echo $a->test() ."\n";


Expected result:
----------------
empty
alpha
empty
bravo
alpha


Actual result:
--------------
empty
alpha
alpha
bravo
bravo
