PHP 4.0 Bug #8440: fopen on a url returns "success" as an error

From: david@php.net Operating system: Debian Linux 2.2.14 PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: HTTP related Bug description: fopen on a url returns "success" as an error fopen("http://my-url/","r") - Success is the error returned. Attempting to use the filehandle return gives "is not a valid FileHandle resource", of course. A "lynx -dump" from the server at the same time the error occurs shows that the url is fine and the connection to that web server is also fine. Doesn't happen all the time, on every execution, but when it does happen is disastrous, any ideas? thanks.
