[php-maint] Bug#622685: php5: regression memleak

[Tristan Mahé]

Package: php5
Version: 5.3.3-7+squeeze1
Severity: critical
Tags: upstream
Justification: breaks the whole system


There's a regression memleak in upstream as described there: http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48781

This bug is easily reproducible with the code found on the upstream bugtracker.

Long running cli scripts eat all ram, then swap space, and render the whole system unstable.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you need further informations.
