Set_time_limit() is completely ignored. All php.ini-values are on default (especially safe mode is off). For example, execution of the following test-script never stops:

set_time_limit(10);

while(true) {
    echo "sleeping...<br>\n";
    flush();
    sleep(1);
}

This bug has already been descriped in http://www.php.net/bugs.php?id=5518 but the fix provided by Rasmus doesn't seem to work (any longer).
