Ah well. It definitely does it when it can, but you can confuse it with enough circular references and large enough data structures that it ends up with a giant mess of data it can't GC, because it's just not THAT smart. There are improvements coming in this area, I think, in PHP 6, if I remember the posts to internals correctly. -- Some people have a "gift" link here. Know what I want?
