Bug description:  reusing a curl handle leaks memory

Description:
------------
Reusing a curl handle for multiple requests leaks memory.  It leaks about
100 bytes per request.  This is a problem when making a large number of
requests using the same handle.  Libcurl documentation says to always reuse
the handle when possible in order to reuse connections.  The bug occurs on
Windows XP/IIS and Apache/FreeBSD 6.2.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
// Reuse curl handle memory leak test
$ch = curl_init();
$startmem = memory_get_usage();
for($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) {
  $fp = fopen('/dev/null', "w");
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,
    'http://debug.atensoftware.com/r.php?echo='.rand());
  curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
  curl_exec($ch);

  fclose($fp);
  unset($fp);
  print "$i-mem: ".(memory_get_usage() - $startmem)." bytes\n";
}

?>

Expected result:
----------------
The memory usage should not increase after each request.
