I have a couple of sites that use URL fopen wrappers to fetch content remotely, and some others that do it at a more low level with fsockopen+fread. Works fine on a server with PHP 5.2.9, but after moving the sites to a server with PHP 5.2.11 I'm seeing data from outbound connections consistently truncated; it appears the connection is closing prematurely for some reason.

Downgrading to 5.2.9 on the new server seems to have fixed the problem.

Anyone else seen this? Remember it's for OUTBOUND connects initiated by a script.
