Description:
------------
When I try to access php://input from fopen or fread or file_get_contents or any other way I can think of, the script hangs up until it times out. It almost seems like eof is never being reached, but there is some wierdness to that theory. If I try to dump the contents of php://input to a log file, the log file is written with the contents of php://input, but the next line of code is never reached. However, if I use HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA, the next line of code is reached with blazing speed. I am running  IIS5, win2k, php5.0.2 in CGI mode, gd2, mysql, curl, mcrypt, and PEAR installed.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$data = fopen("php://input", "r");
while (!feof($data)) {
	$result .= fread($data, 4096);
}

OR

$data = file_get_contents("php://input");

Expected result:
----------------
$data winds up containing the contents of php://input and control is returned to the script
