Demonstration that fsockopen() DOESN'T works using FQDN.
First I'll verify that my DNS works. This should eliminate
the blame on DNS:

# ping -c 5 www.php.net

Demonstration that fsockopen() does works using IP address.

I just recompiled it with explicit environment variable LIBS=-lc set, apachectl stop, apachectl start and everything is working again.
