Problems that could arise:
The sytem tries to open images and does not unset the variables...and such.
I guess when everything is working you cannot do anything against. If you want
to investigate more you would need a debug version from php to verify if all
memory is freed.

But this is the post from the developer who is assigned to the bug on Sourceforge:

Hello,

I administer a linux 2.4.19/apache 1.3.26/php 4.1.2 server in an ISP.

Recently some clients started using a gallery php script:
http://gallery.sf.net

that causes excessive memory utilization on the server:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=498028&group_id=7130&atid=107130
So here goes the question:

In what situations will memory allocated to a script remain with the
apache process after the script has terminated ?

I always thought that memory allocated would be released on script
termination - Am I wrong in this assumption ?

Could it be that the heap in the apache process stays at the maximally
used level ?

Thanks for any pointers or how I should approach resolving this problem.
(I am already using 'MaxRequestsPerChild 5' in apache as a stopgap
measure)

Mike
