Re: Memory limit is used for all scripts instead of one?

I thought I would add my "tuppence" (= 2 pence = 0.02 GBP) worth: I've been building with --enable-memory-limit to enable the peak mem usage stats in my log files. Recently I noticed that "all of a sudden" my scripts were chewing up more than 8MB (the default limit in php.ini) and PHP was bailing out. At first I thought that it was a problem in my scripts, but once the message had been reported no more PHP scripts would be served, each failing with the memory limit exceeded message. The only option being to restart Apache, or rebuild without the memory limit. I am using PHP from CVS and first encountered the problem just after the CVS server was brought back up last time (about a week ago). Perhaps these are related, or perhaps this is related to that wierd memory bug that surfaced just before that? --Wez.
