 >As of PHP 5, the new operator returns a reference automatically, so
 assigning the result of new by reference results in an E_DEPRECATED
 message in PHP 5.3 and later, and an E_STRICT message in earlier versions.

 (From
 [http://php.net/manual/en/language.operators.assignment.php#example-115
 the PHP docs])

 There are two instances of this in
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tests/trunk/includes/testcase.php#L132
 /includes/testcase.php]. Since WordPress requires at least PHP 5.2, I
 assume that the unit tests do also.
