This hash is destroyed on shutdown by this function:
static PHP_MSHUTDOWN_FUNCTION(cgi)

zend_hash_destroy(&CGIG(user_config_cache));
UNREGISTER_INI_ENTRIES();
return SUCCESS;

In my patch I forgot to set ht->pListHead to NULL. The following line
should be added toward the end of the zend_hash_destroy() function:
ht->pListHead = NULL;

Description:
------------
After upgrading to PHP 5.3.2, we ran it through Purify and noticed the
following memory leak:
MLK: 32 bytes leaked at 0x9b70ca8
* This memory was allocated from:
calloc [rtlib.o]
_zend_hash_init [zend_hash.c:168]
php_cgi_globals_ctor [cgi_main.c:1429]
allocate_new_resource [TSRM.c:303]
ts_resource_ex [TSRM.c:370]
.
.
.
The problem is that php_cgi_globals_ctor() (the constructor) is calling
zend_hash_init() but there is no corresponding destructor to call
zend_hash_destroy(). I have attached a patch that will fix this.
You will notice in the patch that I had to make changes to
zend_hash_destroy() to prevent a double free. Apparently there are
places that are already calling zend_hash_destroy() for the hash that is
initialized in php_cgi_globals_ctor(), but it is not currently getting
called all of the time. Perhaps a more correct fix would be to find
where these other calls to zend_hash_destroy() are being made and either
eliminate them altogether or make sure they are called all of the time
and not have the destructor function.
