var_dump is boggus on this version.
Use a workaround :
<?php
// (c) jean-christophe michel 2002

function my_var_export($v, $ret=false) {
if (is_null($v)) return 'null';
$res = '';
if (is_array($v)) {
$res = ' array(';
$virg = '';
foreach ($v as $_k => $_v) {
$res .= $virg.my_var_export($_k, true).' => '.my_var_export($_v, true);
$virg = ",\n"; 
}
$res .= ')';
} elseif (is_string($v)) {
$res = "'".str_replace("'","\'",$v)."'";
        } elseif (is_bool($v)) {
$res = ($v)?'true':'false';
        } else {
    $res = $v;
}

if ($ret) {
            return $res;
        } else {
            echo $res;
        }
    }
?>
