From:             mike dot hall at twistdigital dot co dot uk
Operating system: FreeBSD
PHP version:      5.1.0b2
PHP Bug Type:     Class/Object related
Bug description:  unset() doesn't destroy object with internal references

Description:
------------
PHP doesn't unset an object if it contains variables that include
references to itself. Despite being unset, the objects remain in memory
until the end of the request. This can lead to scripts consuming large
amounts of memory when larger and more complex objects are being employed.

Reproduce code:
---------------

Expected result:
----------------
0
Create A
Create B
Destroying B
Destroying A
1
Create A
Create B
Destroying B
Destroying A
2
Create A
Create B
Destroying B
Destroying A
End of Loop

Actual result:
--------------
0
Create A
Create B
1
Create A
Create B
2
Create A
Create B
End of Loop
Destroying A
Destroying B
Destroying A
Destroying B
Destroying A
Destroying B
