Description:
------------
Sockets' socket_read() left 8 bytes in memory.

Example configure:
'./configure' '--enable-versioning' '--enable-memory-limit' '--with-layout=GNU' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr' '--disable-all' '--with-regex=php' '--disable-cli' '--enable-ctype' '--with-dom=/usr/local' '--with-gd' '--enable-gd-native-ttf' '--enable-gd-jis-conv' '--with-freetype-dir=/usr/local' '--with-jpeg-dir=/usr/local' '--with-png-dir=/usr/local' '--with-xpm-dir=/usr/local' '--with-mysql=/usr/local' '--enable-overload' '--with-pcre-regex=yes' '--enable-posix' '--enable-session' '--enable-sockets' '--enable-tokenizer' '--with-expat-dir=/usr/local' '--enable-xml' '--with-zlib=yes' '--with-apxs2=/usr/local/sbin/apxs' '--with-imap=/usr/local' '--with-imap-ssl=/usr/local' '--prefix=/usr/local' 'i386-portbld-freebsd4.8'

but reproducable on linux too.



Reproduce code:
---------------
function foo(){
	$socket = socket_create (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); 
	$result = socket_connect ($socket, gethostbyname ('www.example.com'), 80); 
	$in = "HEAD / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n";
	
	socket_write ($socket, $in, strlen ($in)); 
	while ($out = socket_read ($socket, 2048)) { /* .. */ }
	
	socket_close ($socket);
}

foo();
echo memory_get_usage() . "<br>";
foo();
echo memory_get_usage() . "<br>";
foo();
echo memory_get_usage() . "<br>";


Expected result:
----------------
xxxxx bytes.
xxxxx bytes.
xxxxx bytes.

Actual result:
--------------
xxxxx bytes.
xxxxx + 8 bytes.
xxxxx + 16 bytes.
...
xxxxx + (n * 8) bytes.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

This is by design. Memory used by resources is freed in the request shutdown.

Hm. as i understand it's not possible to write long-running socket server ? because after ~1 mln recieved connections it'll rich all 8 MB memory limit??

Nope, it doesn't do that. Sniper was slightly wrong. If you do a socket_close it should clean up the resource, and it also does that. What you see here is most likely some of the performance tweaks in PHP. If you keep doing this in a loop you'll see that there is an upper limit on this.
