 This is no direct issue of WordPress own code but inside the shipped
 SimplePie classes. They use Reflections code, which is only available at
 PHP5.
 Furthermore the addressed line tries to clone using Reflection API a class
 and crashes while the provider didn't configure a specific setting
 correctly. Reflections only works properly if

 zend.ze1_compatibility_mode=Off in php.ini

 as can be read here
 http://docs.php.net/manual/de/language.oop5.reflection.php#79578 and has
 been tested successfully by an user of german WordPress forum have had
 this issue.

 I don't know, how the solution could look like, because this are more
 issues in one case:

  * PHP 5 usage (even if WordPress claims to be compatible with PHP 4)
  * wrong provider setting avoid proper function of WordPress if using PHP
 5

 One possible solution could be to show up during install the test result
 of reading this value and in case of '''PHP 5''' and '''On''' a warning
 could be presented.
 I'm afraid, this is not the best solution but it is one. Please find a way
 to handle this type of issue safely.
