this is the output of a magento-shop item import script.
it requires csv data and db usage, i am afraid i cannot break it into
pieces right now.
but i like to give some more support about the error i get:
- whether i use unset or not, php5.2.8 on debian works, php5.2.9 on
suse not
- i have a private server with debian php5.2.9-0.dotdeb.1 where it
works, too
the debug says:
debian: php has a memory usage increase of 0.03-0.1mb per loop
suse: php has a memory usage increase of 2-3mb per loop
debian was my testserver, and suse is what our customer has.
beside that, scripts and data are totally equal
there is a warning whenever i use suse php5.2.9:
PHP Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated in ...
-> but this does not occur in php5.2.9-0.dotdeb.1
so probably a php configuration problem? i dont know...

When you pass in true to memory_get_usage() and memory_get_peak_usage()
you get the memory allocated from the system not the memory allocated
for the script.
If you remove the values of true from both of these you'll see you
should get.
With Unset
Current REAL Usage: 0.12MB -- Peak: 198.01MB

You need 250MB memory_limit to execute.
-----
This script uses ~200MB at the end of script and got a peak of ~200MB.
If you uncomment the unsets you'll have less memory (current) usage and
a slight less memory peak
-----
<?php
ini_set( 'memory_limit', '1000M' );
$data = $array_1 = $array_2 = $array_3 = array();
for( $i = 0; $i < 10000; $i++ ) $array_1[] = rand( 3456, 987641234 ) .
str_repeat( implode( '', range( 'a', 'z' ) ), rand( 70, 200 ));
$data = array_merge( $data, $array_1 );
#unset( $array_1 );
for( $i = 0; $i < 20000; $i++ ) $array_2[] = rand( 1232, 987641234 ) .
str_repeat( implode( '', range( 'a', 'z' ) ), rand( 160, 250 ));
$data = array_merge( $data, $array_2 );
#unset( $array_2 );
for( $i = 0; $i < 30000; $i++ ) $array_3[] = rand( 1239, 987641234 ) .
str_repeat( implode( '', range( 'a', 'z' ) ), rand( 40, 100 ));
$data = array_merge( $data, $array_3 );
#unset( $array_3 );
#unset( $data );
$memory_peak = round( memory_get_peak_usage( true ) / pow(1024, 2), 2
);
$memory = round( memory_get_usage( true ) / pow(1024, 2), 2 );
echo "\nW/O Unset\nCurrent REAL Usage: " . $memory . 'MB -- Peak: ' .
$memory_peak . "MB\n\n";

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves.
A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.
Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.
Memory is never freed back to the system until the request ends, PHP
will however re-use the memory assuming that a block the right size can
be found.

unset has never freed memory, memory is freed at script shutdown.
