Bug description: fsockopen() won't timeout
A simple query to a server with fsockopen() won't timeout if the requested
server is down.
$serverquery = fsockopen($host, $port, &$errno, &$errstr, $timeout);
The operation times out first (120 seconds), even if $timeout is as low as
1 second; it works fine if I remove unavailable servers from the query
list. Sometimes the server crashes if I try the function again before the
last operation times out.
