See the previous discussion on this topic in the list archives.   
Namely: just because your distribution uses a certain version of a  
code interpreter (i.e. PHP), that does not mean you are locked to that  
version.  There are all sorts of 3rd party options.

At this point, if you are still running something like PHP 5.3.3  
almost 3 years after its release, that is a security risk. (Vendor  
specific "security patches" do NOT provide adequate support.)  There  
have now been **23** additional bug/security fixes since 5.3.3, and  
that doesn't account for the fact that PHP 5.4 was long ago released  
and is stable, and PHP 5.5 is now in the RC stages.

Additionally, as mentioned before, we support the PHP 5.3 **API**, not  
the actual distributed version of PHP 5.3.0 itself.  Our documentation  
doesn't make this distinction because it would be confusing to most  
users.

So obviously there is something wrong with the way  
stream_get_contents() works on these ancient releases.  I'll have to  
find a workaround, but this is not a high priority since there is  
nothing wrong with the code itself.
