Bug description:  call_user_func_array when calling a parent constructor not 
from a user class

Description:
------------
When using:

call_user_func_array(array('parent', '__construct'), $var);

This works if the parent is a user-defined class, but not if it's an
extension-provided class (the extended constructor gets called twice).

This is not easy to explain, see attached reproduce code for more
details.


My initial code was (in a class extending mysqli):

        private function __construct($params) {
                call_user_func_array(array('parent', '__construct'),
$params);
                $this->set_charset('utf8');
        }

Using this instead awfully fixes the problem:
parent::__construct($params[0], $params[1], $params[2], $params[3]);

Note that this wasn't possible in PHP 5.2.x

Warning: call_user_func_array(): First argument is expected to be a valid
callback, 'parent::__construct' was given in foo.php on line 5


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

class B extends mysqli {
        public function __construct($var) {
                echo "here\n";
                call_user_func_array(array('parent', '__construct'), $var);
        }
}

$x = new B(array('localhost', 'root'));


Expected result:
----------------
here

Actual result:
--------------
here
here

Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 2 to be array, string
given in foo.php on line 6
