Description:
------------
When using fsockopen with non "available" unix socket, fsockopen returns FALSE (no file descriptor), but an unix socket remains opened in webserver process running php.

run
watch -n 1 'lsof -U | grep ^apache | wc -l'

while opening the following page (replacing "apache" by the real name of your webserver).

Suggestion : in file main/network.c, in function _php_stream_sock_open_unix, when php_connect_nonb fails, closesocket(socketd) should be invoked before returning NULL.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
        $PHPfd = fsockopen("/dev/null", 0, $PHPerrno, $PHPerrstr);
        if($PHPfd)
        {
                fclose($PHPfd);
        }
?>

<html><head><title>fsockopen</title></head>
<body>
<pre>
PID : <?php print getmypid() . " ".  $PHPerrstr . "."; ?>
</pre>
</body></html>


Expected result:
----------------
When fsockopen returns FALSE, no file descriptor created by this function should remain opened
