Bug description:  OOP singleton instance

Description:
------------
We use a user singleton instance for our cms user authed ids that should
not be able to killed from third party addons or worse coders so easily,
but accessable from all.

But when someone get the instance with reference it can be killed easy
with setting the reference var to null, unset dont work.

If you put the static $instance holder inside the getinstance() function
it seems to be work correct and cant be deleted from setting reference to
NULL



Reproduce code:
---------------
class test {
   static private $instance = null;
   static function getinstance() {
      if ( self::$instance == null ) {
         return new test();
      }
      return self::$instance;
   }
}
$user = &test::getinstance();
$user = null; // destroy singleton instance
$user = &test::getinstance();
unset( $user ); // dont destroy instance

Expected result:
----------------
singleton not destroying with setting a getted instance with
reference to null

Actual result:
--------------
singleton destroyed
