I've been directed here from bug #25616 with the indication that this
is the same bug. I read this bug before I posted bug #25616 and the
issues seems different. This one describes an issue with blocking mode,
my bug describes an issue whith the script exitting successfully while
in an infinite loop, which is contrary to the expected functionality of
a while( 1 ) loop. I'm not sure why I was pointed here. Albeit my bug
seemed to come into existence with the use of stream_set_blocking(
$stdin, FALSE )

The case is with the original code stated, the code loops, and does not
block on the fread - ie, it keeps returning instantly (even with
nothing), which seems to me to be non blocking eventhough I'd told it
to block..

If I remove the stream_set_blocking(STDIN,TRUE); altogether, fread
appears to block - but instead of returning after receiving a block of
data, it blocks until the buffer is filled up (in this case being 128
bytes) - *then* it returns..

What you have just described is blocking IO, and that is precisely what
I'd expect to happen when reading from STDIN.

Now, when reading from a socket, you would expect the call to return at
the end of a packet, but php doesn't yet have any idea that stdin is a
socket, and that sounds like the cause of your problems.

Can you confirm that this is the case, as your more recent comments
don't seem to match up to your original report?

please don't mail people directly; keep all info related to the bug in
the database unless requested to do otherwise.

What exactly was the workaround?

I did try removing the statement, and it kept reading the STDIN with
the
fread until the amount, in this case being 128 bytes is filled, rather
than
taking it to the end of the packet...

Will you please try the workaround I suggested?
I'm not saying it isn't a bug, I'm just suggesting something that might
help get your script working in the time it takes for this bug to get
fixed.
