This is not a real php bug. This is a "Apache related feature request".

Now, I've spent a hole day tracking down some apache childs not timing out when keep-alive enabled. It showed up that apache's somewhat poor timeout handling got struck by libcurl used via php that redefines the handler for SIGALRM without restoring it afterwards, when setting a curl timeout.

php could help apache by saving and restoring the handler for SIGALRM on entry/exit of a php script. Who knows what other non-well-behaved libraries do live there in outer space ...

I believe a lot of this has been delt with while using the new php streams code.  Do try a current non-stable cvs snapshot and see if thi see if this still continues for you.  

Marking as closed.  If I'm wrong, you're welcome to reopen the bug.
