>Description:
After the upgrade to apache 2.0.54_4, the following simple PHP script freezes the apache thread: $handle=popen("/bin/cat", "w");. This only occurs on programs which request stdin input - i.e. $handle=popen("/bin/ls", "w") will not produce the above problem. Naturally, this freezes the "mail" function of PHP.
I have did portupgrade -fRr on apache2, I have done portupgrade -fPP on apache2, the problem persists in all cases.
The problem does not exist in the command-line PHP interpreter.
ps ax will report sh -c cat and cat in the process list. httpd will not fully exit until those are killed - it still takes up the port.
>How-To-Repeat:
On apache-2.0.54_4 with php4 as module:
<?php $handle=fopen("/bin/cat", "w");?>, save as, i.e., test.php, and try opening it with your browser.
The command-line php interpreter (php test.php) will work on it fine, but not the apache module.
