Comment	> We had various times the problem that the max. memory for a php > process exceeded while talking to gpg and hence the popen termintated > abnormally. This abnormal termination isn't caught by horde and hence > the following loop will lead to an infinite loop and fill the php > logs. > > > > http://ch.php.net/manual/en/function.feof.php warns about the problem > of an infinite loop and comments propose various ways to avoid that. > > > > The attached patch will introduce one of the discussed ways to deal > with this problem. > > > > We are operating now with this patch for some time and didn't > encounter anymore the problem of an infinite loop. > > > > As far as we could see this problem exists in other popen calls as > well and hence it might be worth to review all the popen calls of > horde apps, to avoid this problem.
