Description:
------------
The example says it the best. Reproducible in both 5.1.6 and 4.4.4
(with minor changes), all extensions disabled. Definately related to
references, although I'm not sure if the code below is good practice,
but I've run into it on more than one occasion. I think it should be
freeing the objects when they go out of scope, but the reference
counting must be broken somehow.

Might be related to #22055, but this one's been around for ages.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php {
class A {
var $ba;
function A() {
$this->ba = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
$this->ba[] = new B($this);
}
function __destruct() { // never gets called
die("Freeing class A\n");
}
}

class B {
var $a;
function B($a) { // function B(&$a), and:
$this->a = $a; // $this->a =& $a; leaks in php 4.4.4
// remove line above to prevent leak
}
function __destruct() { // never gets called either
die("Freeing class B\n");
}
}

$smu = memory_get_usage();
while (true) {
$ba = array();
for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++)
$ba[] = new A();
$emu = memory_get_usage();
echo sprintf("leak %.1f kB\r", ($emu - $smu) / 1024.0);
}
}?>


Expected result:
----------------
No memory leak.

Actual result:
--------------
Rapidly increasing memory leak.
