Really weird "global" bug

[eluser]richthegeek[/eluser]
No doubt that's it whilst it's in a helper, but this problem was also occuring whilst the function code was in the view along with the calls to it:

Code:

function get()
{
   global $var;
   var_dump( $var );
}
var_dump( $var );
get();

produces

Code:

object stdClass ( ... ); NULL

rather than the expected double object output
