After running a script which queries a MySQL database about 6000+ times in rapid succession, the apache daemon hogs upto 30-40Mb ram and doesn't release it, even though I use mysql_free_results() straight after queries have been performed.
Is this a PHP bug? or a Solaris problem...?

If you have an ideas I'd like to know for future reference etc.
