Description:
------------
When firing unix signals onto a forked process with pcntl_signal handlers active and a socket_select currently running, socket_select may crash.

Run the test script with php test.php 1339, and then launch some "kill -s 10 <child pid>" on it. After some, maybe just one, kill's, the script will crash.

Test script:
---------------
http://php.pastebin.com/Td68vtMn

Expected result:
----------------
Installing signal handlers
Installing handler for signal 15
Installing handler for signal 10
child-pid 20030
running
marco@vs932:~/php_daemon$ kill -s 10 20030
got signal 10
marco@vs932:~/php_daemon$ kill -s 10 20030
got signal 10
marco@vs932:~/php_daemon$ kill -s 10 20030
got signal 10

(etc)

Actual result:
--------------
Installing signal handlers
Installing handler for signal 15
Installing handler for signal 10
child-pid 20030
running
marco@vs932:~/php_daemon$ kill -s 10 20030
got signal 10
marco@vs932:~/php_daemon$ kill -s 10 20030
got signal 10
marco@vs932:~/php_daemon$ kill -s 10 20030
got signal 10
marco@vs932:~/php_daemon$ kill -s 10 20030
marco@vs932:~/php_daemon$ PHP Warning:  socket_select(): unable to select [4]: Interrupted system call in /home/marco/php_daemon/test.php on line 39
socket_select failed: Interrupted system call
end

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To
find out how to generate a backtrace, please read
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php for *NIX and
http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace-win32.php for Win32

Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug
report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping
us make PHP better.

PHP itself doesn't crash, the error is not fatal - and how do I make a gdb backtrace on a forked process, anyway?
 [2010-04-17 11:13 UTC] marco at vmsoft-gbr dot de 
just ran it under gdb, it fails as expected, but as it's not segfaulting, no backtrace can be made.

Can you try to generate a coredump and use it later to get a bt:

Uh, the PHP *process* doesn't crash, so no corefile. Sorry, was bad choice of words by me. Anyway, whatever happens with socket_select there should not happen... but how to backtrace that one without an actual crash?

If it crashes then linux should be able to generate a core dump file (without gdb). You can then use it to generate a back trace.

It doesn't crash in the literal sense, as I said before this was a mistake in word choosing. So it's technically something other than a crash, but I dunno how to properly call it. It's a bug, that's the only thing thats sure.

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

See the restart_syscalls parameter.

I also have this problem, the php no crash, still running, and i use the 
socket_select() time out to become the looping interval, but sometime the the 
socket_select() failed and no wait the time out, at the same time my client cannot 
connect to the server during the socket_select() function was failed.
