note 56133 added to function.socket-read

I found very misleading that in non-blocked mode socket_read(... ,... , PHP_NORMAL_READ) is really blocked from the php developer angle of view. e.g. 78 socket_set_nonblock($my_socket); ... 303 $read = socket_read($res, 1024, PHP_NORMAL_READ); produces next stace (in my environment, whether socket:371 is actualy a connect to a server indefinitely waiting for further input from user). fcntl64(371, F_GETFL) = 0x802 (flags O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) recv(371, "\30", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "\375", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "\375", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "\375", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "\375", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, " ", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "\30"", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "\30", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "#", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "#", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "\30", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, "\'", 1, 0) = 1 recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) recv(371, 0x81cc2d0, 1, 0) = -1 EAGAIN (Resource temporarily unavailable) .... /* wait for a minutes */ So it seems to me that socket_read(... ,... , PHP_NORMAL_READ) is abandon of the whole idea of the non-blocked sockets ...
