Description:
------------
I am writing a php script running in crontab to read pages from many other sites. Sometimes the script eats 100% CPU and get into a dead loop. This problem occurs randomly, no dependence on special remote web servers.

It seems that the problem is in php5-5.2.17/ext/standard/http_fopen_wrapper.c around line 614.


When gdb is attached to the dead loop php process, the stack trace looks like:
(the url differs everytime, so I think the remote web servers are not related to this problem)

My script uses file_get_contents to read other sites' pages. The number of pages to read is larger, this problem occurs more frequently. 

I didn't notice this problem when the number of pages to read is smaller than 100 (now I have more than 1000 pages to read, and meet this problem almost everyday)

PHP 5.2 is no longer supported.

Does the same problem occur in PHP 5.3.5?

still occurs in php5.3-201102150730



When php eats much memory ( ~ 100M  it seems there are some memory leaks in the program? ), the problems occurs more easily.

In the program, I have a big loop to process thousands of web sites,
I use DOM/SimpleXML to parse xml data from every site and use GD to process some images.
