Description:
------------
When an eval fails on execution
the memory consumtions raises.

The script below simulates the 
situation.

Is that an memory-leak?


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
   error_reporting(E_ERROR | E_WARNING | E_PARSE | E_NOTICE);
   ini_set('error_reporting', 1 );

   for( $i = 0; $i < 100000; $i++ )
   {
      eval( '$x = / 1000' );
   }
   print( "finish\n" );
?>



Expected result:
----------------
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4864 bytes) in test.php(7) : eval()'d code on line 1
