I'm re-filing this as a bug report.

It appears that set_time_out() is acting inconsistant.

The following code stops after 5 seconds as you would expect:

set_time_limit(5);
while(1) {
  $i++;
}

While this code continues executing indefinitely:

set_time_limit(5);
while(1) {
  $i++;
  echo "$i\n";
}

documentation is not clear enough on what "excecution time"
the max_execution_parameter does limit.

try the following:
<?php
set_time_limit(1);
while(1) sleep(1);
?>

on my machine that runs much more then one second, while:
<?php
set_time_limit(1);
while(1);
?>

stops after 1 second as expected.

That difference is never mentioned in documentaion.

While the usage of PROF timer make sence sometimes the parameter name 
"max_execution_time" suggests the "real" time limit so that

<?php
set_time_limit(30);
sleep(3600);
?>

should be terminated on timeout after 30 seconds.
