Confirmed. 5.0.4 uses code from r181491 (in 5.0 branch), which sets length to 1 if 0 is passed as
the second argument. The behaviour described by the documentation was introduced by r181490 (in
5.1).
Therefore the documentation should be changed to:
"Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.1.0 and later) the maximum line length is
not limited, which is slightly slower."

From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.fgetcsv#refsect1-function.fgetcsv-
parameters

The documentation states the following for the length parameter for fgetcsv():
"Must be greater than the longest line (in characters) to be found in the CSV
file (allowing for trailing line-end characters). It became optional in PHP 5.
Omitting this parameter (or setting it to 0 in PHP 5.0.4 and later) the maximum
line length is not limited, which is slightly slower."
This is wrong. I have a php 5.0.4 environment using fgetcsv() in a while loop as
follows:
fgetcsv($csvHandle, 0, self::DELIMITER);
And the 0 does not put no limit on the max line length, instead the fgetcsv()
call gets each individual character on the line in the file
