Description:
------------
If you read a lot of clobs/blob via oci_fetch_array($stmt, OCI_RETURN_NULLS+OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_LOBS) it causes php_shutdown to take a very long time.

Depending on the rows you read via oci_fetch_array the php_shutdown takes longer and longer. Examples:

10.000  rows read with one lob column  0.1 seconds
20.000  rows read with one lob column    2 seconds
30.000  rows read with one lob column    8 seconds
40.000  rows read with one lob column   28 seconds
50.000  rows read with one lob column   60 seconds
100.000 rows read with one lob column 1800 seconds

This also happens if you skip the OCI_RETURN_LOBS and you don't use ->free on the returned lob-object.

Tested with oci8 extension form php 5.2.10 and php 5.3.0

Reproduce code:
---------------
$conn       = oci_connect($user, $user, $db);
$tcst = oci_parse($conn, 'CREATE TABLE TESTTABLE ( PK NUMBER NOT NULL, TB BLOB , CONSTRAINT TABLE1_PK PRIMARY KEY ( PK) ENABLE)');
oci_execute($tcst);
oci_free_statement($tcst);
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10000; ++$i) {
     $stmt = oci_parse($conn, "insert into testtable (PK, TB) values(:PK, :TB)");
     oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':PK', $i, -1);
     $lob  = oci_new_descriptor($conn, OCI_DTYPE_LOB);
     oci_bind_by_name($stmt, ':TB', $lob, -1, OCI_B_BLOB);
     $lob->writeTemporary('aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa', OCI_TEMP_BLOB);
     oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
     $lob->close();
     $lob->free();
     oci_free_statement($stmt);
}
oci_commit($conn);
for ($i = 0; $i <= 10; ++$i) {
    $stmt = oci_parse($conn, 'Select PK, TB FROM TESTTABLE');
    oci_execute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
    OCISetPrefetch($stmt, 100);
    while (($row = oci_fetch_array($stmt, OCI_RETURN_NULLS+OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_LOBS )) !== false);
    oci_free_statement($stmt);
}

What version Oracle client and database?

By shutdown do you mean end-of-web-request, or shutdown of the PHP process?

It might be a symptom of a LOB ref count issue we've recently uncovered, or it might just be Oracle having to clean up.

yes end of the php process. After the php script on the command line has finished the gdb shows something like the following in the backtrace:

I run the script from commandline with
time php script.php 10
When the php script has outputed the last thing the php process takes very long till it finaly returns to the command line.
Guess it's more like a oci_free_lob-count issue you mentoined. Is there a newer version to try?
