Description:
------------
Inserting a 'hidden' form type before any other input types is broken.

Tested with HTML_QuickForm 3.2.5

Test script:
---------------
################
# Works:

require_once ('HTML/QuickForm.php');

$fileform =& new HTML_QuickForm('fileform');

$fileform->addElement('header', null, 'Upload Picture:');
$fileform->addElement('text', 'image', 'Image:');
$fileform->addElement('hidden', 'id', '1');

#################
# breaks:

require_once ('HTML/QuickForm.php');

$fileform =& new HTML_QuickForm('fileform');

$fileform->addElement('header', null, 'Upload Picture:');
$fileform->addElement('hidden', 'id', '1');
$fileform->addElement('text', 'image', 'Image:');

Expected result:
----------------
A working form.

Actual result:
--------------
Fatal error: Call to undefined method HTML_QuickForm_hidden::HTML_QuickForm_element() in /usr/local/www/mikejestes/cvs/sole/shared/admin/includes/PEAR/HTML/QuickForm/input.php on line 50

Yes, the pear apc was enabled. Disabling the extension fixes the issue. After more testing, it seems that changing the order of addElement() calls triggers the issue.

Seems like more of a bug for APC, unless it's possible to work around this in the QuickForm code.
