Hi Thies, I did raise this issue a while back, but got no response (happens quite a lot on php-dev). I think bumping the API number would be the best course of action; a lot of things have changed (binary wise) as a result of streams, and I don't think it is possible to emulate the old things without a lot of mess - the whole point of streams was to eliminate the issock mess we had in the first place.
