Description:
------------
When I unset an array containing object, the memory is not freed as expected. Too much memory is still used.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
ini_set('memory_limit','300M');
class a {
}

echo memory_get_usage()."\n";
$a=array();
for ($i=0; $i<=1000000; $i++) {
	$a[]= new a();
}
echo memory_get_usage()."\n";
unset($a);
echo memory_get_usage()."\n";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
325776
230042304
circa 325776

Actual result:
--------------
325776
230042304
33977912

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. 

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
