Hi Ron,
Indeed exception may lead to leaks in certain cases. We do try and cleanup
as much as possible but the situation you describe is hard to detect. I
will however put it on our TODO list because this case could possibly be
improved on.

You're right, using that file to create a big piece of data was just for
demonstration purposes. In my personal case it's XML parsing. The way I read
what you just said is that this is behavior by design. But if I don't throw
Exceptions, memory usage stays constant. Throwing and catching these
exceptions are the exception-to-the-rule.
Nonetheless, if this is truly by design.. maybe that's something to look
into for PHP6.
