Description:
------------
Using proc_open to open a pipe to a command, and, putting stream_select 
into a function, hangs upon return from that function.  

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
	function SelectStream($StreamsArray) {
		$Null = array();
		$timeout = NULL;
		stream_select($StreamsArray, $Null, $Null, $timeout);
		echo "After select\n";
		return FALSE;
	}
$ProcDescriptor = array(1 => array("pipe", "w"));
$Resource = proc_open("tail -F /var/log/mail.log", $ProcDescriptor, $Pipes, NULL, NULL, array("binary_pipes" => TRUE));
if ($Resource === FALSE) die("proc_open failed\n");
$ProgResource = $Pipes[1];
/*
$ProgResource = popen("tail -F /var/log/mail.log", "r");
if ($ProgResource === FALSE) die("Could not open the PIPE\n");
*/
$Streams[] = $ProgResource;
$Resource = SelectStream($Streams);
echo "ok\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
I expect ok to be displayed. If you replace proc_open with popen 
(uncomment the lines), the same function returns fine (ok displayed). If 
you remove the stream_select, it also returns fine. 

Actual result:
--------------
The string ok is not displayed, the statement is never reached. After 
select is displayed. So, it is hanging on the return statement.

Same result, no difference, no "ok" displayed

Isn't it tail that "hangs" since you use -F instead of -f ?
 [2009-12-21 05:30 UTC] compconsultant at yahoo dot com
No, -F is correct. If the log file is rotated, tail will follow it.

Ok, I give up. I can see no one wants to fix this so let other people 
have the same problem. To cancel bugs after 1 week with no feedback is 
absurd. Doesn't make it not a bug!

I will not report any future bugs either.

Why to use steam_select on $ProgResource, and not on $Pipes ? This is really the reason it doesnt work.
