That doesn't sound right... it's more likely that you're doing something funky in your process (not php) with SIGCHLD so that wait4() misses the event when you pclose.
My suggestion: strace your stuff and look for rogue signal() and wait style calls that might be screwing things up. Third party libraries (in particular, OCI) can have this kind of effect. --Wez.
