sscanf fails to return more than one parameter by reference

[josephdfoley]

Taken from codeigniter's Router.php, roughly:

$controller = 'user/login';

$returnVal = sscanf($controller, "%[^/]/%s", $c, $m);

$returnVal is 2, $c is user, but $m is null. Internally, ParseString() internally seems to be working properly, with $result[1] being login, but the assignment to $arguments[0] doesn't survive to the caller.
