leaked file descriptor from PHP see.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.8.1.10)

Description of problem:
Summary
    SELinux is preventing the /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix from using 
potentially
    mislabeled files (/tmp/.apc.541B8K (deleted)).

Detailed Description
    SELinux has denied /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix access to 
potentially
    mislabeled file(s) (/tmp/.apc.541B8K (deleted)).  This means 
that SELinux
    will not allow /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix to use these files.  
It is common
    for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp 
directories and then
    move (mv) them to system directories.  The problem is that the 
files end up
    with the wrong file context which confined applications are not 
allowed to
    access.

Allowing Access
    If you want /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix to access this files, you 
need to
    relabel them using restorecon -v /tmp/.apc.541B8K (deleted).  
You might want
    to relabel the entire directory using restorecon -R -v /tmp.

Do not file bugs when you have Zend extensions (zend_extension=)
loaded. Examples are Zend Optimizer, Zend Debugger, Turck MM Cache,
APC, Xdebug and ionCube loader.  These extensions often modify engine
behavior which is not related to PHP itself.


You have APC installed.

I don't see how this has anything to do with APC, but to make sure, try removing APC and run your test again.

Looking at the code in ext/mail.c we have:

sendmail = popen(sendmail_cmd, "w");

if (sendmail) {
    if (EACCES == errno) {
        php_error_docref(NULL TSRMLS_CC, E_WARNING, "Permission denied: unable to execute shell to run mail delivery binary '%s'", sendmail_path)
;
        pclose(sendmail);
        return 0;
    }
    fprintf(sendmail, "To: %s\n", to);
    fprintf(sendmail, "Subject: %s\n", subject);
    if (headers != NULL) {
        fprintf(sendmail, "%s\n", headers);
    }
    fprintf(sendmail, "\n%s\n", message);
    ret = pclose(sendmail);
    ...

I don't see how you wouldn't reach the pclose there.  If you can reliably reproduce this, gdb it and figure out why the pclose isn't doing its job there.
