Description:
------------
After fetching CLOB field in Oracle XE DB installed on the same PC as PHP and Apache 2.2.14 with OCI_RETURN_LOBS provided as param to oci_fetch_all() and oci_fetch_array() functions, oci8 extension does not properly flush memory reserved for LOB objects.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$dsn  = "VALID_DATA_SOURCE_NAME";
$user = "VALID_USER_NAME";
$pass = "VALID_PASSWORD";

echo "<pre>start\n";

oci_internal_debug(true);
$conn = oci_connect($user, $pass, $dsn);

// sample table has this schema and has more than one row(s).
//     CREATE TABLE OWN1.TEST (COLUMN1 CLOB);
// COLUMN1 must not be empty - minimum 2 rows are expected
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, "SELECT SELECT COLUMN1 FROM OWN1.TEST");
oci_execute($stmt,OCI_DEFAULT);

$res = array();
$row = '';
/*
while($row = oci_fetch_array($stmt, OCI_ASSOC+OCI_RETURN_NULLS+OCI_RETURN_LOBS)) {
	$res[] = $row;
}
*/

oci_fetch_all($stmt, $res, $SQL_LIMIT_FROM, $SQL_LIMIT_COUNT, OCI_FETCHSTATEMENT_BY_ROW+OCI_RETURN_LOBS);
oci_free_statement($stmt);
var_dump($res[0]);

oci_close($conn);

echo "stop\n</pre>";

?>

Expected result:
----------------
OCIDescriptorFree function should be called during SQL result fetching, not at the end of PHP script. In above script every single call of OCIDescriptorFree should take place before "stop" is printed out. Now only one call of OCIDescriptorFree take place before this piece of code. The expected result should be similar to that described in this article: http://blogs.oracle.com/opal/2008/01/.

Actual result:
--------------
When I have about 70000 rows in my table, PHP reserves a few MB of memory and releases it at the end of the script consuming 100% of processor and PHP does not release it completely. In our system with hundreds of thousands of client calls it results in Apache crash every hour because of lack of memory and PHP script crashes ocassionaly when it exceeds php.ini "memory_limit" value in single script (with lots of LOB objects fetch).
