I've experienced similar problem. I do not now is it PHP problem or APACHE problem. Description: I have a big script operating on tables and objects. It needs aprox. 100MB of memory. Apache allocates memory. Script executes and finishes. Memory is still reserved. Apache really keeps memory reserved "for future use", but(!) here comes problem: I have a MaxFreeMem directive set in apache config to 1KB! So as Apache documentation says it should be freed instantly after script execution finishes (because it is unused) but it doesn't. Either there is bug in Apache (can't check) or PHP does not frees used memory, and apache does not know that it is free. Please, simply check this problem, because for big scripts it makes my machines crash. My version was exactly 5.1.2 (now it is 5.1.4 and the problem remains) and OS is gentoo. Best regards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=37412&edit=1
