I think you're probably right. My gut is telling me that this has to do with tty funkiness. I tried the batchmode option, but it didn't affect the problem. My bet is that ssh is mucking around with ttys, and PHP is loosing it's connection through apache. The php processing may actually be completing, it's just no longer sending it's output through apache, and apache hasn't figured that out, so apache is standing around waiting for PHP to complete. I'm hoping that the PHP devs may get around to this as a bug and decide it can be fixed- maybe by resetting the tty after returning from a system or whatever.
I am actually a PHP dev, believe it or not. Exactly which tty is it you are suggesting we reset? There is no tty here. You can't run interactive things that require a controlling tty from something which doesn't have one without some really nasty tricks.
