> Problem:
> Unserialized objects with no class definition are not considered proper 
> objects by PHP 5.2.x. t3lib_div::view_array() thus fails to catch them 
> with the is_object() test. It then moves on to cast them to string, 
> which causes a fatal error (as referenced previously in bug 
> http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=6529).
> 
> Solution:
> Perform more precise tests to catch those special objects using 
> gettype(). I know that gettype() usage is not recommended, but I 
> couldn't find another workaround to that problem. A try/catch statement 
> didn't work although PHP says it is a catchable error.
> 
> Notes:
> I also added a test for the existence of the __toString() method so that 
> it is used if available and did a minor code cleanup by replacing the 
> while/each construct with a foreach loop.
