> but this is not a bug what is it then? why can't I use memory_get_usage() + ini_set('memory_limit',xxx) to check for memory leaks in my code? do I just give up and ini_set('memory_limit',4GigaBytes) and never give a damn about memeory?

PS, note that in the first script I set mem limit to 2 times big_size, and in the 2nd script I did not.
