Description:
------------
phpinfo:
http://v6test.valuehost.ru/phpinfo.php

The problem has the following character, after long work php as mod_php in apache, various variations of sockets, fsockopen, include, fopen and etc cease to work.

As did not work and curl, but it managed to be solved rebuild libcurl with FD_SETSIZE=16384 (sys/types.h).

Such sensation that descriptors come to an end.

At occurrence of this problem fsockopen starts to return a mistake " Operation now in progress "
Function include in general causes Segmentation fault (11)

Unfortunately there is no opportunity to include an option debug as ZendOptimazer does not work in debug a mode.

This is a real bug.

The issue is that fd_set is a fixed-size array, and if FD_SET is passed an fd number greater than FD_SETSIZE, it has undefined behaviour, i.e. it overruns the array and corrupts memory.

All uses of select() in PHP look to be unsafe because of this.  The proper fix is to use poll() on platforms where it is available, and to always check that fd < FD_SETSIZE before using FD_SET.

Sorry, but the fix is not _that_ simple.

FD_SETSIZE is a maximum count. Not all operating systems keep the fd numbers in the sequence 0 - (MAX-1).

Microsoft Windows is one such exception AFAIK.

Thus. It is a lot harder than that to know if you have reached the FD_SETSIZE maximum in a platform independent way.

win32 is a different beast here, but we can work around it.
I've been giving this matter some thought; I might be able to cook up a fix in a weeks time.

Fixed in PHP 5 HEAD; tested on linux and win32, should also work on *bsd.

PS: this fix can't touch the libcurl internals, of course, just the uses of select(2) by PHP.
