Description:
------------
Hi,

We recently upgraded our web servers with PHP 5.3 and found out that
there are lots of empty fstat system calls. fstat is called 3 times on
each file open. This does not happen on PHP 5.2.9.

PHP 5.2.9 shows better results in benchmarking vs. 5.3.0, and I suppose
it's because of the fstat.

We're running Red Hat 3.4.6, Apache 2.0.59, PHP 5.3.0

Reproduce code:
---------------
Any code that loads PHP file.

Expected result:
----------------
Strace summary from 5.2.9

  7.99   6.170706          165   37410            fstat

Actual result:
--------------
Strace result.
I replaced full path by [path]

open("[path]/Flash.php", O_RDONLY) = 21
fstat(21, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=23902, ...}) = 0
fstat(21, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=23902, ...}) = 0
fstat(21, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=23902, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 23902, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 21, 0) = 0x2a971a2000
stat("[path]/Flash.php", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=23902, ...}) =
0
munmap(0x2a971a2000, 23902)             = 0
close(21)                               = 0
lstat("[path]/VTalkNotification.php", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777,

open("[path]/VTalkNotification.php", O_RDONLY) = 21
fstat(21, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=778, ...}) = 0
fstat(21, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=778, ...}) = 0
fstat(21, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777, st_size=778, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 778, PROT_READ, MAP_SHARED, 21, 0) = 0x2a971a2000
stat("[path]/VTalkNotification.php", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0777,
st_size=778, ...}) = 0
munmap(0x2a971a2000, 778)               = 0
close(21)                               = 0
