Hello David,

that's correct.      See the NEWS file, 3rd entry:

18 March 2004, PHP 5 Release Candidate 1
- Fixed numerous bugs with the just-in-time auto-global initialization, that
  could cause $_SERVER, $argv/$argc and other variables not to work properly.
  (Zeev)
- Fixed data corruption with constant assignments to object properties. (Zeev)
- Changed __toString() to be called automatically only with print and echo
  statements. (Andi)
