I'm not doubting you, nor do I pretend to understand anything about 
libc/glibc. This link is where I got my information. Please take a look 
at it.

It won't change how I handle the error because whether it's a php or 
libc problem, the error has to be handled in the php script. I can't 
expect everyone that uses bobs to patch their libc and/or rebuild php.
