Description:
------------
We just upgraded to 1.10.0 (by accident) on production.

We immediately started getting a ton of OOM's like so:


Exception: ErrorException
Error: E_ERROR: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to 
allocate 1812794404 bytes)

Yes, that's 1.8GB for a variety of small YAML files.

It's not repeatable; it doesn't always happen on the same YAML file it seems. I 
am not sure why I know that sounds weird.

Test script:
---------------
Don't have a repeatable test case.

Expected result:
----------------
Shouldn't request ungodly amounts of memory. 1.0.1 worked great.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

I have the same problem, althoug it crashes most of time in the same line, complaining to try to allocate several Gigabytes of memory where just 1 Byte is beeing inserted into a string. 
The problem occurs in a long running script which parses big xml-files (ca. 200-500 MB) after having processed 5-6 MB while the memory usage is about 2-3 MB (memory limit=256MB). Problem is not limited to cli.

the script was working for about 8 years without any problems.

Problem occurs since I upgraded the server to php 5.3.3 (debian packet version 5.3.3-7+squeeze13), while this upgrade was from debian lenny to squeeze, so i can't say if its only related to this exact version.

@gregor Just to clarify, you are experiencing an OOM error due to the yaml extension in a process that is processing XML files? And you have been using the yaml extension to do this for 8 years?
