thanks

Yes, this bug is still alive.

Recently a bug has been opened upstream[1] for this same bug(if I am not wrong)

To reproduce it I just did "aptitude install php5-snmp php5-cli snmpd
-R" and then run the code posted in the bug to reproduce it (and I
reproduce it, php starts eating more and more memory).

I didn't try the patched version to see if it solves the issue. But
the bug has a patch and that patch is clearly reported  by Federico
Cuello (the same guy who did the patch :) to solve the issue in [2]

So please consider including this patch in debian's php5-snmp package
until upstream includes it or fixes it in some other way.

I don't have any etch servers right now to test it, but it seems to
affect etch's php-snmp too. Will try to find some etch server and post
again.

Thanks a lot,

Rodrigo
