Bug description:  unexpected __sleep() serialization behavior

Description:
------------
I have an object instance ($obj_root) that I want to 
persist in a 
session.
The object's class (object_container) defines the 
__sleep() function, and 
returns the array of member variables to be serialized.

function __sleep()
{ 
    return array("objs");
}

The member variable 'objs' ($this->objs = array('foo');) 
is not serialized as expected; 
Arrays or other object-types result in null strings.

Upon comparing the serialized instance strings, I have 
discovered that the string-ified names of the member 
variables are very different:

serialize() without __sleep() wraps null chars around 
the instance class name, followed by the member variable 
name.

obj_root|O:16:"object_container":1:{s:
22:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]@objs";a:1:{s:3:"foo" ....

serialize() with __sleep() uses the plain member 
variable name, and dismisses it as null.


If I use the __sleep() function and supply the member 
variable name with null chars quoting the class name the 
serialization works.

function __sleep()
{ 
    return array("\0object_container\0objs");
}

Could this be a bug, or should the documentation be 
updated to reflect this curious behaviour of __sleep().
