Couldn't find anything to help finding the buggy spot. Rewrote my thing
without pass-by-reference and it now works nicely. Sorry.

No, I'm sorry. I don't use any extensions or Zend. As I said, I cannot
boil this down to its essence - I have some very large, generated PHP
script I'm willing to send you via PM, though.

I cannot reproduce this with the code below. Are you running some
extension like APC or Zend Guard that mangles/optimizes the code for
you?
<?php
function &foo_to_array (&$x)
{
$array_to_return = array();
return $array_to_return;
}
$x = "";
var_dump(foo_to_array($x));

Description:
------------
For some reason I cannot figure out, array() doesn't give me an empty
array anymore but NULL.
(References are used for good reasons, btw.)
Test script:
---------------
function &foo_to_array (&$x)
{
$array_to_return = array (); // Works the first couple of times,
then NULLs.
// add foo elements to array
return $array_to_return;
}
Introducing some wrapper doesn't help either -- an array is actually
created but NULL is returned anyway:
function make_array ()
{
return array ();
}
