Description:
------------
I see that fsockopen() causes a memory leak although of closing filedescriptor.

Reproduce code:
---------------
  system("/bin/ps -maxwvj -p ".posix_getpid());
  $fd = fsockopen("www.yahoo.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 3);
  system("/bin/ps -maxwvj -p ".posix_getpid());
  if($fd) {
    $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\nHost: www.yahoo.comConnection: Close\n\n";
    fwrite($fd, $out);
    $line = "";
    while (!feof ($fd)) {
      $lastline = fgets($fd);
      $line .= $lastline;
      if(ereg("Content-Type: text/html", $lastline)) { break; }
    }
    fclose($fd);
    echo $line;
  }
  system("/bin/ps -maxwvj -p ".posix_getpid());
  sleep(5);



Expected result:
----------------
You will see after issue fsockopen() memory usage rises, and if you issue fclose() does not free memory.

Reproducible under php-4.3.9

Smaller reproducible code

<?php
  system("/bin/ps -l -p ".posix_getpid());
  $fd = fsockopen("www.yahoo.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 3);
  system("/bin/ps -l -p ".posix_getpid());
  if($fd) fclose($fd);
  system("/bin/ps -l -p ".posix_getpid());
?>

It's related to any network interaction.
Reproducible with
mysql_connect
file_get_contents (http wrapper)
fsockopen

How are you measuring this?

This example code show initial and final memory usage. I'm wrong? It doesnt free all resources.
My cli application makes an infitite loop, and every time it tries to use network resources, memory usage increases and after some time no more memory available.

<?php
echo memory_get_usage()."\n";
$db = mysql_connect("dbhost", "dbuser", "dbpass");
mysql_close($db);
unset($db)
echo memory_get_usage()."\n";
?>

Yes, this is just how resources in PHP works. No bug here.
