Description:
------------
PHP Version is 7.1 (Bugtracker dropdown stops at 5.6). Bug preset in
stable and alpha.

I'm currently checking compatibility of our code wrt PHP 7.1 and i
noticed that some RSS feeds are not working anymore with XML_RSS.

Example Feeds not working anymore:

http://www.n-tv.de/23.rss
http://www.handelsblatt.com/contentexport/feed/schlagzeilen
http://www.spiegel.de/politik/index.rss

Stacktrace is different depending on the feeds (Stacktraces below)



Test script:
---------------
include_once "XML/RSS.php";
$rss = new XML_RSS('http://www.n-tv.de/23.rss');
$rss->parse();

Actual result:
--------------
<b>Fatal error</b>:  Uncaught Error: Cannot use string offset as an
array in /usr/share/pear/XML/RSS.php:282
Stack trace:
#0 [internal function]: XML_RSS->endHandler(Resource id #7,
