max_execution_time in php.ini

Hi

In the php.ini file I have set max_execution_time to 30 seconds, but today I saw the following in top:

Code: 
PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME CPU COMMAND
18857 serbehd   25   0  6260 6260  3492 R    98.0  0.3 587:56   0 /usr/bin/php readmsg.php
How is it possible, that this script could run for such a long time? And how can I avoid this things?

Michael
