Description:
------------
As of php 5.0.3, the function get_class_vars() was changed so that it doesn't return private, protected (and maybe also public) class variables. This function is used by the DB_DataObject's _call method to determine whether the requested field actually exists.

If one uses protected variables in an extended class of DB_DataObject (private wouldn't work because of the extension) and only use get* and set* to insure data integrity, this will stop working.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class Person Extends DB_DataObject {

public $__table = 'persontable';

protected $id;

}

$myPerson = new Person();

echo $myPerson->setid(1) ? 'ok' : 'not ok';
?>

Using PHP 5 (up to 5.0.2), this would work, but in order for it to work as of 5.0.3, I recommend changing line 3142 of DataObject (1.7.2) from:

<?php
$array = array_keys(get_class_vars($class));
?>

<?php
$array = array_keys(get_object_vars($this));
?>
