fgets() is taking a VERY long time to return anything with php from cvs (4.3.0-dev).

Here is a test script to show the behavior:
<?php
function getmicrotime()
{
   list($usec, $sec) = explode(" ",microtime());
   return ((float)$usec + (float)$sec);
}

$a = getmicrotime();
$fp = fsockopen('mail.haught.org', 25, $errno, $errstr);
$b = getmicrotime();
echo "(Connected in " .($b-$a). " seconds)<br>";

echo '>' .fgets($fp, 2048);
$c = getmicrotime();
echo " (Read took " .($c-$b). " seconds)<br>";

echo '< EHLO localhost';
fwrite($fp, "EHLO localhost\r\n");
$d = getmicrotime();
echo " (Write took " .($d-$c). " seconds)<br>";

$numlines = 2;  //number of lines to read
for ($i; $i<$numlines; $i++) {
    echo '>' .fgets($fp, 2048);
    $e = getmicrotime();
    echo " (Read took " .($e-$d). " seconds)<br>";
}
?>

The Results:

I have tried other mail servers with the same result.  All trees compiled with the same configure script.  I first noticed this using PEAR's Mail scripts using smtp.

configure script:
'./configure' \
'--enable-posix' \
'--enable-session' \
'--enable-xml' \
'--enable-inline-optimization' \
'--with-apxs=/home/www/sbin/apxs' \
