Hello,

I get the following error with the attached test project using PHP 5.3.2RC2. This error does not seem to happen with PHP 5.2.x

Causes the error when ran with 'phing coverage'

[mrook]

Does this still happen with PHP 5.3.2RC3? I can't reproduce it with 5.3.1.

[richard.bradley@…]

This same thing happens for me when running "coverage" on my phing/PHP project using PHP 5.3.2 (cli) (built: Jun 15 2011 18:56:43)

I don't get this error if I just run "test", only with "coverage".

[richard.bradley@…]

The "caution" box on the "reflection.extending.php" page in the PHP manual looks relevant (sorry, I can't link to it from here -- it gets marked as spam)
