Not sure if this is actually intentional change in PHP_5.3 (and HEAD) 
but this is different from PHP_5_2:

[j...@linux5 ~]$ /usr/src/build/php_5_2CVS_FCGI/sapi/cli/php -n -d 
error_reporting="E_ALL | E_STRICT"  t.php

Strict Standards: Redefining already defined constructor for class 
search in /home/jani/t.php on line 9
search2::__construct()
search::__construct()
search2::search()
search::search()

Description:
------------
Child class calling parent::function calls parent's php4 style
constructor of same name instead of parent's public method named the
same as the class.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class search  
{
    public function __construct()  
    {
        echo "<br>".__METHOD__;
    }
    protected function search()
    {
        echo "<br>".__METHOD__;
    }
}
class search2 extends search  
{
    public function __construct()            
    {
        echo "<br>".__METHOD__;
        parent::__construct();     
    }
    public function search()   
    {
        echo "<br>".__METHOD__;
        parent::search();
    }
}

$search2 = new search2();
$search2->search();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
search2::__construct
search::__construct
search2::search
search::__search


Actual result:
--------------
search2::__construct
search::__construct
search2::search
search::__construct
