Proposed Changes
When accidentally contacting a HTTP server instead of an fcgi server, Socket::readPacket() can turn into an infinite loop. This change implements a rudimentary check that the server that was contacted is actually a fcgi server.
Further comments
A proper fix would also implement a global timeout in Socket::readPacket(). On top of that, stream_select() or similar should be used in the while ( $length && ($buffer = fread loop so that it does not run as a busy loop, but I was unable to convince it to block with the HTTP server that caused the initial problem.
