Description:
------------
I am using PHP on Apache/1.3.29 (Unix).

The script behaves differently, depeding on PHP running as cgi or as apache-module, in the following way:

- load jpeg into string
- save base64_encode(string) with file_put_contents() as dummy.txt
- load dummy.txt into string with file_get_contents()
- decode string with base64_decode()
- process loaded string with imagecreatefromstring()

The Script behaves fine when using php as cgi.
The script stops without any warning or response when using php as apache-module after imagecreatefromstring().

Everything works fine without base64-encoding/decoding.

(I'm using file_put_contents from Pear::compat)
GD Version: 2.0 or higher

Reproduce code:
---------------
$data = file_get_contents('test.jpg');

file_put_contents('dummy.txt', base64_encode($data));
$data = base64_decode(file_get_contents('dummy.txt'));

$im = imagecreatefromstring($data);

echo 'helloworld';

Expected result:
----------------
output of "helloworld" with either cgi or apache-module

Actual result:
--------------
cgi-version: output 'helloworld'
apache-module: script terminates silenty after imagecreatefromstring()
