 New Comment:

After a little more testing we opened and closed the imap connection
after every 50 messages.  This seems to release the memory and works as
a temporary fix.


Also, we have confirmed the same bug in imap_fetchbody.  I tested
applying the same fix as above and it seems to fix the issue.

Will test it using my test imap server. The last fix is correct but
there is certainly other sources of leaks.

Hey guys it looks like we were a little hasty in submitting this patch.
 It now seems that our patch does lessen the memory leak, but does not
eradicate it.  We ran our test script using the patch and it seemed to
work, but running the actual migration program shows that there is still
a leak.  Before our program would migrate ~1.5gb of mail now it migrates
~2.4gb before running out of memory.  We have updated our test script to
better expose the memory leak:

/**
 * To watch memory usage use:
 * ps -eo pid,ppid,rss,vsize,pcpu,pmem,cmd -ww --sort=pid | grep
"\(memory-usage-test\)\|\(PID\)" | grep -v grep
 */
$flags = '/novalidate-cert';
$host = 'a.host.com:143';
$username = '[email protected]';
$password = 'password';
$folder = 'INBOX';

$base_imap_string = '{' . $host . $flags . '}';
$connect_string = $base_imap_string . $folder;

$mailbox = @imap_open($connect_string, $username, $password, 0, 3);
$reopen_success = imap_reopen($mailbox, $connect_string, 0, 3);

$message_ids = imap_search($mailbox, "ALL", SE_UID);
$num_msgs = count($message_ids);
for ($i = 0; $i < 1000000; $i++) {
    $msg_num = $i % $num_msgs;
    imap_body($mailbox, $message_ids[$msg_num], FT_UID);
}

Can you provide the patch as a unified diff, just use the -u flag to
cvs diff.
