Test script:
---------------
I have no test script but please refer to Derick Rethans' article (http://ez.no/community/articles/reference_issues)

I peeked inside File_Find source code and spotted several potential issues with methods returning references...

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Notice: Only variable references should be returned by
reference in /usr/local/www/lib/php/File/Find.php on line 96

At least one spot can be fixed with this patch:

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

If this was a documentation problem, the fix will appear on pear.php.net by the end of next Sunday (CET).

If this was a problem with the pear.php.net website, the change should be live shortly.

Otherwise, the fix will appear in the package's next release.

Thank you for the report and for helping us make PEAR better.
