I can't tell that having just the information you've provided.

>2) When is PHP 5.2.1 scheduled to be released?
Soon. RC3 is expected to be the last release candidate.

PHP Version 5.2.1RC4-dev,  php5.2-200701241730

Corrects the issue.

2 things:

1) Can we know what was the cause of the issue in case we need to do a
work around?

2) When is PHP 5.2.1 scheduled to be released?

Description:
------------
Using:
- Apache 2.2.4
- PHP 5.2.0 w/ sessions

Description:
When running this simple script, Apache2 will consume all available
memory and the script will not complete (with no memory limit and high
time limit) until all memory is taken by Apache 2 process and system
starts to fail (swap extensively until nothing is responsive).


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
session_start();
$myarray = array();
$numOfIterations = 100000;  // Set to 10000 to see the script succeed
for($counter = 0; $counter < $numOfIterations; $counter++) {
  $myarray[$counter] =
'jkdfjklsdfjklfsdhjklsdfhildfnifsdnsdfnlfsdnklfsdnkglgfnkl;nmklsdf';
}
// copy the array, just for kicks
$_SESSION['test'] = $myarray;
sleep(5);  // See the memory usage in top for awhile
print("Completed.");
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Apache2 process (pre-fork) will consume all available memory and
continue to climb until system swaps excessively and then becomes
unresponsive.

Changing the $numOfIterations to 10000 causes it to succeed.

By my account, the memory needed approx for each array is:

100000 X 66 = 6600000bytes
6600000 / 1048576 = 6 megabytes

Even when copying it to $_SESSION, it should only take 12 megs, plus
maybe a little more for overhead (array constructs, program execution).
 We're seeing consumption of over a gigabyte and growing with one script
execution.


Actual result:
--------------
TAKEN FROM TOP:
Mem:   1035632k total,  1021568k used,    14064k free,     1208k
buffers
Swap:  3028212k total,   432996k used,  2595216k free,    40336k
