On further consideration this is probably better addressed by setting the
relevant socket streams to non-blocking so that a client connection can be
created in the same process space and tested utilizing select() and an
event loop. This would obviate the need for a proc_open() altogether.
Thanks for rubber-ducking, internals.

^^ this. This is how most of the tests in the sockets extension work when
they need to test a remote connection.
