As per debug log, nothing is seen from php after 18:48:45, and 
this results in the timeout at 18:50:45.

Unfortunately, tcpdump dump provided looks corrupted - it shows 
only first 4 packets both here and on cloudshark 
(http://cloudshark.org/captures/bf44d289b1f6).

Overral I would suggest that this is just how you code behaves.  
You may want to add some debugging to your application to debug 
this further if you still think there is something wrong.
