Description:
------------
fgets calls will keep returning false if a fd has at some point reached end-of-file, even though the pointer is no longer at EOF.  feof() will also keep returning true.

Using fread() instead of fgets() works, but is inconvenient if you'd like to read just one line at a time.

Reproduce code:
---------------
  $fdw = fopen("test", "w");
  $fdr = fopen("test", "r");

  fputs($fdw, "testing 1..\n");
  var_dump(fgets($fdr, 0xff));
  var_dump(fgets($fdr, 0xff));
  fputs($fdw, "testing 2..\n");
  var_dump(fgets($fdr, 0xff));



Expected result:
----------------
string(12) "testing 1..
"
bool(false)
string(12) "testing 2..
"


Actual result:
--------------
string(12) "testing 1..
"
bool(false)
bool(false)

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 to be expected.
