Hello,

Apache 1.x SAPI will occasionally timeout with a "Read POST information
timeout" error instead of a "send timeout" error as it should. This will
happen if the alarm timeout occurs in a POST request, at any point after the
post is read (ie. php_execute_script). This is because the
hard_timeout("send") name set within send_php() is overridden by the
hard_timeout("Read POST information") in sapi_apache_read_post() and never
restored. 

I walked through the startup calls from the point where timeout is set in
send_php to where the read post timeout is set. It seems highly unlikely
that a timeout should happen in this code, even if it were set to 1. The
patches below will correct the timeout name by moving the
hard_timeout("send") from send_php() to php_apache_sapi_activate(), which is
called just after the post is read.
