One of the PHP clients hard-coded a delayed delete value of 1. This was a really bad flaw when it was introduced in the client. 1.4 obsoleted this feature, but it had a bug where it didn't properly ignore it. 1.4.4 properly handles delete with a 0 timeout, but errors on non-zero because they can't be honored. The good news is that when I've read the documentation in the one PHP client that's giving us the most trouble, it was absolutely wrong, so anyone who was relying on this functionality as documented was not getting it in the first place. Overall, it's the right thing to do.
