Description:
------------
msg_receive() blocks next requests to the same URL

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

file_put_contents("/tmp/" . uniqid('moo') . '.txt', __FILE__);

$queue = msg_get_queue(123456);
msg_receive($queue, 1, $msgType, 1024, $var);

Expected result:
----------------
When running it twice, I expect to see 2 /tmp/moo* files.

Actual result:
--------------
Let's say my URL is http://quux.fr/receive.php.

Run http://quux.fr/receive.php once: a moo file is created.

Run it a second time: no file is created.

Run http://quux.fr/receive.php?lol: a new moo file is created.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

Actually, the script was complete and worked. :)

<?php

file_put_contents("/tmp/" . uniqid('moo') . '.txt', __FILE__);

$queue = msg_get_queue(123456);
msg_receive($queue, 1, $msgType, 1024, $var);

?>

Exactly, it works like you want so what's the bug here?

I meant the script can reproduce the bug, and was not incomplete. It doesn't work as I expected.

Well, it works fine. Quite likely the issue has nothing to do with semaphores.

I forgot a detail. When requesting the second time, you must open it in a new window or tab. The first request must be blocked (which is an expected behavior) while you make the second request with the same URL (which should create another file then block, but it just blocks).
