Err: Array_unique/array_diff/array_intersect isn't supposed to handle
multi-dimension _arrays_, nor objects.

My ISP recently upgraded from 4.0.3pl1 to 4.0.6 - i have a script that
runs an 'array_unique' on a 2d array.  This used to work previously,
but now it reduces the array down to a single item.

Here is the section of script:
// CLEAN UP DUPLICATES THAT DON'T HAVE THE DESCRIPTION, BUT ARE THE
SAME SECTION
                                if ( $debug ) echo "<P 
style='text-align:left'><B>CLEAN UP
DUPLICATE SECTIONS</B><BR>
                                                                                       
                         <I>[\$idx,\$count]...</I><BR>";
                                $count = 0;
                                for ( $idx = 0; $idx < count($section_result); ++$idx 
) {
                                        $comp1 = strtolower($section_result[$idx][0]);
                                        $comp2 = 
strtolower($section_result[$idx+1][0]);
                                        $comp3 = 
strtolower($section_result[$idx-1][0]);

                                        if ( $comp1 == $comp2 ) {
                                        // IF THIS ENTRY IS THE SAME SECTION AS THE 
NEXT ONE
                                                if ( $section_result[$idx+1][1] != '' 
) {
                                                        $section[$count][0] = 
$section_result[$idx+1][0];
                                                        $section[$count][1] = 
$section_result[$idx+1][1];
                                                        ++$count;
                                                } elseif ( $section_result[$idx][1] != 
'' ) {
                                                        $section[$count][0] =
