This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

The bug is already fixed in PHP-5.3 with Garbage Collector which collects cyclic references. In PHP-5.2 this bug will never fixed.

You can get the same memory leaks with smaller script:

<?php
$array = array(1,2,3);
$array["foo"] = &$array;
$array["blah"] = &$array;
?>

In case your script creates cyclic structures, in 5.2 it's better to break cycles before exit manually.

<?php
$array = array(1,2,3);
$array["foo"] = &$array;
$array["blah"] = &$array;
$array["foo"] = null;
$array["blah"] = null;
?>
