The fine manual <http://de.php.net/fread> has a warning (and an example
just below that warning):

  When reading from network streams or pipes, such as those returned when
  reading remote files or from popen() and proc_open(), reading will stop
  after a packet is available. This means that you should collect the
  data together in chunks as shown in the example below.
