I'm using PHP 4.0B2 as a DSO with apache 1.3.9.  In my httpd.conf I have set

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
php_admin_flag safe_mode On
php_admin_value doc_root "/homes/www141/webtest"
php_admin_value open_basedir "/homes/www141/webtest"
php_admin_value safe_mode_exec_dir "/homes/www141/webtest/bin"
php_flag log_errors On
php_value error_log "/homes/www141/webtest/logs/php.log"
php_value max_execution_time 3
php_value memory_limit 8388608

When I run the following PHP script, it is not aborted before printing the
second message, despite having run for more than 3 seconds.  And it
takes about 13-18 wall clock seconds before PHP aborts the infinite loop.  Printing
phpinfo() confirms that max_execution_time is indeed set to 3.

<html><head><title>test of max_execution_time</title></head><body>
<? 
echo "before<p>\n"; sleep(10); echo "after<p>\n";
while (1) { $i++; }
 ?>
</body></html>

This is being run on a 450MHz server that's doing nothing else, so I don't
think CPU contention is an issue.

This bug is still present in PHP 4.1.2, exactly as described by djm

I doubt that - remember this is cpu time, not wall clock time.  sleep(10) doesn't count.
