Description:
------------
On specific file input stream_get_line returns a "line" that actually contains the delimiter.

PHP 5.3.10 does not show this problem, PHP versions from 5.3.11 to 5.3.17 do. PHP 5.4.7 seems to be affected as well.

Bug #44607 seems to be related, but was fixed long time ago.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
$file = __DIR__ . '/input_dummy.txt';
$data = str_repeat( '.', 8184 ) . 'MM' . str_repeat( '.', 8190 ) . 'MM' . str_repeat( '.', 8128 ) . 'MM' . str_repeat( '.', 61 ) . 'MM' . str_repeat( '.', 20 );
file_put_contents( $file, $data );
$fh = fopen( $file, "rb" );
$delimiter = "MM";

while ( !feof( $fh ) )
{
    $before = ftell( $fh );
    $line = stream_get_line( $fh, 4096, $delimiter );
    $after = ftell( $fh );
    
    if ( strpos( $line, $delimiter  ) !== false )
    {
        echo "found delimiter in return! ($before / $after)\n$line";
		exit;
    }
}

echo "ok\n";

Expected result:
----------------
ok

Actual result:
--------------
found delimiter in return! (24508 / 24591)
.............................................................MM....................

Reduced test:

  $file = __DIR__ . '/input_dummy.txt';
  $data = str_repeat( '.', 8189 ) . 'MMMM';
  file_put_contents( $file, $data );
  $fh = fopen( $file, "rb" );
  $delimiter = "MM";

  stream_get_line($fh, 4096, $delimiter);
  stream_get_line($fh, 4096, $delimiter);
  if ($delimiter === stream_get_line($fh, 4096, $delimiter)) {
    echo "BROKEN";
  } else {
    echo "OK";
  }
  fclose($fh);
  unlink($file);

The amount of dots seems to be related to the used buffer length:

(<number-of-dots> + 3) % (<buffer-length> x 2) == 0

The length of the delimiter also seems to play a role, but I'm not sure what 
that would be.

Thanks, I'll commit this tomorrow.

As to your other comment on the list about the bool(false) return instead of an empty string for an empty file, that was a bug fix. A return of "" would indicate an empty line. The result is now corect:

$ php -r '$fd = fopen("php://temp", "r+"); var_dump(stream_get_line($fd, 10, "MM"));'
bool(false)
$ php -r '$fd = fopen("php://temp", "r+"); fwrite($fd, "MM"); rewind($fd); var_dump(stream_get_line($fd, 10, "MM"), stream_get_line($fd, 10, "MM"));
string(0) ""
bool(false)
