This matches the description of PHP bug 39438:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=39438

Please try downgrading to PHP 5.1.6, or upgrading to the current 5.2.x snapshot
from http://snaps.php.net/ .

Memory usage from Apache went from an average of 200MB to 30MB...
So it seems indeed there was some serious leakage in PHP 5.2.0, maybe worth
adding to the installation notes.

thanks for the help. Change resolution to "invalid", as this is not a mediawiki
issue.
