Description:
------------
When the Apache server is started with SSL support when calling the mail() function the following error occures:

Warning: mail(): Could not execute mail delivery program '/usr/lib/sendmail -t -i ' in /export/home/digiprin/digiprints.nl/index.php on line 1266

NOTE: the problem does not occure when the apache server is started without SSL support

Sendmail is the latest version 8.12.11
Apache is the latest version 2.0.50

Reproduce code:
---------------
   mail($email, "Uw bestelling",$message,$header);



Expected result:
----------------
email to be send

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: mail(): Could not execute mail delivery program '/usr/lib/sendmail -t -i ' in /export/home/digiprin/digiprints.nl/index.php on line 1266

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

The error explains that the sendmail binary needed to send 
the e-mail via PHP is either not present or not executable. 
Fix that problem and PHP will be able to send e-mail.

Please note: the sensmail binary is in the correct location, as otherwise the problem should also exist when the apache server is started in non SSL mode, but then it works.

Actually is is relate to apache.  After some debugging it seems that apache is not able to open more streams, with the error "could not execute" as a result.

Not a bug.
