This was actually a bug in the older versions of PHP that has been fixed. If you look at the fgets() documentation you will note that it specifically says:
"Returns a string of up to length - 1 bytes read from the file pointed to by fp. Reading ends when length - 1 bytes have been read, on a newline (which is included in the return value), or on EOF (whichever comes first)."
