 In the rev change 12425 / 12424 some handling for float timeouts was
 submitted. Some ppl. reporting for pingbacks not coming through on some
 systems. I noticed a discussion at the php.net comments about the
 stream_set_timeout function:

 If you are using fsockopen() to create a connection, first going to write
 into the stream and then waiting for the reply (e.g. simulating HTTP
 request with some extra headers), then stream_set_timeout() must be set
 only after the write - if it is before write, it has no effect on the read
 timeout.

 Maybe for a safety reason a null packet should be sent and
 stream_set_timeout added to avoid this as a problem source.
