Are you sure this is OK? It seems strange that string offsets don't need any unlocking. It might mean we have a problem someplace else and that you're fixing the cause and not the source of the problem (although I haven't had time to dig deep). In general, consider the following code: $a = "Foo"; switch ($a[0]) {

        case 'b':
                break;
        case 'c':
                break;
        case 'F':
                break;

} Are you sure this doesn't leak now? I don't have time to look at it now, but if you are absolutely convinced the patch makes sense I'll try and step through it with a debugger as soon as I have some free time. No, I was wrong. I hate the memory manager, it cleans up my leaks for me - makes it impossible to rely on valgrind. ;) Anyway to turn that off?

If you're running in --enable-debug it should be telling you about the leaks.

I'm playing around some more now.

OK thanks. Andi
