Bug ID: 290
Category: Usage problems
Reproducibility: always
Severity: crash
Priority: normal
Status: new
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable
PHP Version: 5.2-dev

Summary: Function call leaks memory
Description:
Xdebug leaks memory on every function call. A code to reproduce this
behaviour is in simplicity following:

<?php

$a = 'foo';

function bar($a)
{
    $b = $a;
}

for ($i = 0; $i < 10000000; $i++) {
    bar($a);
}

?>

Execute that and watch the memory usage climb for example using "top"
command (and noticing disk swapping if you don't do anything).

Xdebug version xdebug-2.0.0RC4
PHP-version 5.2.3

Both PHP and Xdebug are compiled directly from sources and default
settings are used in both to make sure that the ones included in Debian
don't interfere with testing.

This also happens on a few other machines with Ubuntu Feisty installed (by
using the PHP version 5.2.1 that is in it).
