Description:
------------
geoip_org_by_name() function has a memory leak.
It doesn't clear for me, is it because of the PECL module, 
or the bug is in the underlying MaxMind library (v1.4.4) but  
the attached oneliner script will eat up all the memory.





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

$ip = "195.70.35.7";
while (true) $geo_org = geoip_org_by_name ($ip);

?>



Expected result:
----------------
It shouldn't eat up all the free memory.

Actual result:
--------------
It allocates more and more memory until it run out.

Thanks. Not home right now, but will apply in the next days.

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the
end of next Sunday (CET) on pecl.php.net.

In case this was a pecl.php.net website problem, the change will show
up on the website in short time.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PECL better.
