Description:
------------
Any attempt to use Getargs in PHP 5.0.5 fails with the error message "Fatal error: Only variables can be passed by reference".

This error message is generated by lines 418 and 426 in Getargs.php.

The following patch seems to work, beware that it hasn't been extensively tested and probably breaks some pear code conventions:
