I found a rather tragic kluge to get my code working again:

class ActionHandler {

 function &ActionHandler() {
  static $errorArray = array();
 }

 function &getErrorArray() {
  return $GLOBALS[$errorArray];
 }

 function &setErrorArray($additionalErrorArray) {
  if (is_array($additionalErrorArray)) $this->errorArray =& 
array_merge($this->errorArray, $additionalErrorArray);
  if (!isset($GLOBALS[$errorArray])) $GLOBALS[$errorArray] = 
$this->errorArray;
 }

}

That produces the results I want every time, and I can't understand why 
I must use $GLOBALS[$errorArray] and not $GLOBALS['errorArray'], am I 
not mistaken that arrays can only take scalar string and/or integer 
values as keys?
