Description:
------------
The memory used by php to run to the folowing script is growing without stopping....

I tried php snaps... but the problem was not solved. 



Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
for($c=0;$c<60;$c++){
        $xmlQueue = domxml_new_doc("1.0");
        $xmlQueue_root = $xmlQueue->create_element("queue_out");
        $xmlQueue->append_child($xmlQueue_root);
        $str = $c."s\n";
        echo $str;
        sleep(1);
        unset($str);
        unset($xmlQueue_root);
        unset($xmlQueue);
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
No memory overflow.

Actual result:
--------------
The memory used by php is growing without stopping.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.

..why wouldn't it grow?

With this modification i can use the "$xmlQueue->free()" function.

<?
for($c=0;$c<99999999;$c++){
        $xmlQueue = domxml_new_doc("1.0");
        $xmlQueue_root = $xmlQueue->create_element("queue_out");
        $xmlQueue->append_child($xmlQueue_root);
        $str = $c."sn";
        echo $str;
        sleep(1);
        unset($str);
        $xmlQueue->free();
}
?>

$xmlQueue->free(); works fine without any modifications to
PHP 4.3.3 sources. (and definately works fine with latest STABLE CVS snapshot)
