I can't reproduce this leak. Not seeing a message from ZMM or anything under USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 valgrind --leak-check=full.

Do you have a stack trace for the leak?

It doesn't crash so I am not sure how to get a stacktrace.
The log is:
---
Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: fopen(): supplied resource is not a valid Stream-Context resource in /home/yongheng/php_commit/php_poc44.php:4

How should I provide more details?

I cannot reproduce the memory leak on Windows either.

Running under "USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 valgrind --leak-check=full php test.php" should produce a back trace for the leak. (If you are using leak sanitizer, just the USE_ZEND_ALLOC=0 part is enough.)
