Description:
------------
Using argument swapping in sprintf() or printf() calls makes PHP leak
memory. (I've been running this code using the PHP CLI binary.)

Have been able to reproduce this with PHP 4.3.7 as well.

./configure --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php/conf --enable-cli
--enable-track-vars --disable-magic-quotes --enable-xml
--enable-sysvsem --enable-sysvshm
--with-apxs=/usr/local/apache/bin/apxs --disable-debug --enable-ftp
--enable-wddx --enable-sigchild --enable-inline-optimization
--enable-exif --with-pgsql=/usr/local/pgsql --prefix=/usr/local/php
--with-oci8=/dot/oracle/product/9.2.0 --with-db3=/usr/local/db3
--with-zlib --with-dom --with-gd --with-mhash=/usr/local/mhash
--enable-mbstring=all --enable-mbstr-enc-trans --enable-mbregex
--disable-pic --with-gdbm --enable-pcntl --enable-sysvmsg
--with-iconv=/dot/local/iconv --enable-memory-limit

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$b = memory_get_usage();

$location = "zoo";
$num = 2;

// No memory leak:
// $format = "The %s contains %s monkeys\n";

// Memory leak:
$format = "The %2\$s contains %1\$d monkeys\n";

for ($i = 1; $i <= 100000; $i++)
  sprintf($format, $num, $location);

echo "Grown by " . (memory_get_usage() - $b) . "\n";

?>


Expected result:
----------------
Grown by 376

Actual result:
--------------
Grown by 4000336
