Bug description:  call_user_func_array allows calling of private/protected methods

Description:
------------
Using call_user_func_array you are able to call a private or protected
method of any object. I think this should not be allowed as it will lead
to bad programming style as you could use this bug to access methods which
should be hidden.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php



    class foo {

        function __construct () {

            $this->bar('1');

        }

        private function bar ( $param ) {

            echo 'Called function foo:bar('.$param.');<br>';

        }

    }



    $foo = new foo();



    call_user_func_array( array( $foo , 'bar' ) , array( '2' ) );



    $foo->bar('3');



?>

Expected result:
----------------
Called function foo:bar(1);



Fatal error: Call to private method foo::bar() from context '' in
/www/htdocs/bug.php on line 14

Actual result:
--------------
Called function foo:bar(1);

Called function foo:bar(2);



Fatal error: Call to private method foo::bar() from context '' in
/www/htdocs/bug.php on line 17
