Bug description:Unexpected behavior when using by-reference iteration

Description:
------------
I was sure that arrays are passed to functions by value, not by reference.
It looks like after by-reference iteration changes array not only isnide
foreach statement, but array remains changed even after iteration.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

$a = array(1,2,3,4);



function myf($a,$k){

    $a[$k] = 9;

}

foreach ($a as $k => &$v) {

    myf($a, $k);

}

//myf($a, 3);

var_dump($a);

die();

Expected result:
----------------
array

  0 => int 1

  1 => int 2

  2 => int 3  

  3 => int 4

Actual result:
--------------
array

  0 => int 9

  1 => int 9

  2 => int 9

  3 => &int 9
