I debugged pear script a bit. And I founded strange behavior

class PEAR_PackageFile, method factory

$version = $version{0};

and this line throws this error. I replaced to similar functionality

$version = substr($version,0,1);

and this output disappeared. Of course i hava same issue with some other places, like UnitTests. So question why this strange output is same mystery.

    Disabling traces is NOT the answer as stack traces are one of the major useful features of xdebug. It was a problem with the xdebug package itself which has been fixed (see http://bugs.xdebug.org/view.php?id=756).

    If you have a distribution copy of xdebug, you can install it from PECL (may require sudo/privilege escalation):

    pecl install xdebug

    Otherwise, you can upgrade it from PECL:

    pecl upgrade xdebug
