Description:  
  
wddx_serialize_value and wddx_serialize_vars functions fails to handle Variant  
object when it is given as a first argument.  
  
Registers:  
  
EAX 00000000  
ECX 1056AAE8 php5ts.1056AAE8  
EDX 100EFCE0 php5ts.100EFCE0

EIP 1028F22E php5ts.1028F22E  
  
Crash:  
  
1028F22E 8A45 25 MOV AL,BYTE PTR SS:[EBP+25]  
  
Situation looks pretty much the same for both wddx_serialize_vars and  
wddx_serialize_value. Also functions stream_bucket_prepend and stream_bucket_append  
have some problems with handling Variant object when given as a second argument:  
  
stream_bucket_append(1, new Variant(1));  
stream_bucket_prepend(1, new Variant(1));  
  
PS : Variant object is only available in PHP for Windows OS and it was implemented  
in PHP > 4.1.0 and PHP 5.  
  
For more details check : http://php.net/manual/en/class.variant.php  
  
PS2: After running this via webserver my Apache wasn't able to handle requests  
anymore and I had to restart him :)  
  
kthxbye
