When calling fpassthru() on a file pointer opened with popen(), it fails if there has been already read from that pointer.

$fp = popen("/bin/ls /", "r");
if ($fp) {
  $line = fgets($fp, 1024);
  print $line;

  fpassthru($fp);
}


Results in the following error:
fpassthru(): 77 bytes of buffered data lost during conversion to FILE*!

The same script works fine with php 4.2.3. It also works fine if there hasn't been read from the file before (i.e. omitting the fgets() line in above example).

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Fix will be in PHP 4.3.1, due soon.
