Description:
------------
With today's PHP 5.3 snapshot, include() on my Linux box leaks memory; 
I've noticed this because we're using long-running scripts with the 
PHP CLI (where Smarty's fetch/display methods call include()...). This 
doesn't happen with PHP 5.2.6.

I tested with an unchanged copy of php.ini-recommended and just 
'./configure' without any options, on Debian Linux 4.0, running in 
VMware Fusion on my Intel Mac.

Thanks for looking into this, and for the great work on PHP!

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

// Create an empty file
touch('empty.txt');

while (true)
{
    include('empty.txt');
    echo memory_get_usage() . "\n";
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
No increase in memory usage.

Actual result:
--------------
Memory usage increases constantly, until PHP exits because the memory 
limit is exceeded.

Sorry, I don't want to get on your nerves - just for the record, this 
still happens to me with PHP 5.3.0beta1.

The bug report is still marked as Assigned so obviously its not fixed...

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

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.
