Description:
------------
I've recompiled PHP in order to bypass the 1024 socket limit (FD_SETSIZE).
The only change I've made is setting FD_SETSIZE to a higher value in:-
/usr/include/linux/posix_types.h
/usr/include/bits/typesizes.h

When calling either socket_select() or stream_select() with more than 1024 handles in the read array, the script terminates with a buffer overflow error.

Test script:
---------------
$handles = array();
for($x = 0; $x < 1030; $x++){
	
	$handle = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP) or die('Failed to create socket');
	socket_connect($handle, '127.0.0.1', 80) or die('Failed to connect');
	socket_set_nonblock($handle) or die('Failed to set non-block on socket');
	$handles[] = $handle;
}

socket_select($handles, $w = null, $e = null, null, null);
die('Done');

Expected result:
----------------
The test script should return "Done"

Actual result:
--------------
The script opens more than 1024 sockets successfully but when socket_select() is called it terminates with the following output:-

*** buffer overflow detected ***: php terminated
