Ok .. I've spent a couple of hours summarising the page to 
see if I can supply code for you here and havent had much 
luck.

Any idea what I should be looking for in the code ?
Do the files listed help track down what I should be looking 
for ?

/php-5.1.2/ext/standard/string.c(3006)
/php-5.1.2/Zend/zend_alloc.c(237)
/php-5.1.2/main/php_variables.c(186)

Thanks
Alain

No, the files listed do not help to track it down.
You can try to compile PHP with --disable-zend-memory-manager and see if valgrind can add some more info, but I suspect that there are no valgrind for your platform.
Try to reproduce it on an Intel-based server and see if you can get more info with valgrind. 
But still a short reproduce code would be even more appreciated.

I've managed to track the leak down to the following section 
of code .. just load this into a page and refresh it a few 
times to see the leak. It also will not work if it in the 
root of the virtual host - eg: /leak.php it will not leak, /
leak/leak.php and it will .. 

$gb_loggedin = false;
if (isset($storeuser_id)){
	//cookie is available
	if ($storeuser_id != "") {
		$gb_loggedin = true;
		//reset cookie just to make sure.
		setcookie ("storeuser_id", $storeuser_id,time()
+31536000);
	}
}

Let me know if this helps.

sorry .. quick note - the server this runs on has 
register_globals on .. (I know, we're working on it:p)

Fixed in CVS HEAD, PHP_5_1, PHP_5_0 and PHP_4_4.

The reason of the leaks were duplicate cookies.
