what I did every single time. Among all my bug reports I had one answer
from decoder-php@own-hero.net (thanks to him) who reduced the test case
for a memory leak (bug 54460). I'm not talking about bugs in modules
but bugs in *core* which can be reproduced with few lines of *core* PHP.

To tell you the truth, I've been asked to rewrite the framework I
did in Ruby because of these problems. I'm of course very reluctant
to go that way but in the end I may have no choice :-(
