Bug description:  Oracle query in array, returned by function: memory leak + high CPU 
load

I need to generate some reports and I need to have some table's data as a
whole as some columns of a row in this table and other tables reference
other rows of this table. The PHP version is 4.0.4pl1, Apache is 1.3.14,
and Oracle 8.1.7.

So basically, I do this inside a function:
.
.
.
while (ora_fetch($cursor)) {
  $key = ora_getcolumn($cursor, 0); 
  for ($j=0; $j<ora_numcols($cursor); $j++) {
    $col_name=ora_columnname($cursor, $j);
    $col_value = ora_getcolumn($cursor,$j);
    $ret_array[$key][$col_name] = $col_value;
  }
}
.
.
.

Here are my problems:
  - after the end of the script execution, the CPU load (seen by top) goes
up to 99.90% for several minutes (for 4000 entries of 20 columns, it lasts
about 2 minutes); during the script execution and HTTP transfer, the CPU
load is normal, once the file transfer is over, the load becomes 99.x %
  - if I do this on a just started Apache, a lot of memory is consumed
(normal) but not released:

Before:
nobody    10159  0.0  0.1 14.8M 2.3M ??       S    14:42:45     0:00.25
/www/bin/httpd
After
nobody    10159 99.9  0.7 42.7M  29M ??       R    14:42:45     0:36.23
/www/bin/httpd
                ^^^^ CPU  ^^^^  ^^^^^RAM

  - I did some experiements and observed this:
     - if I do an exit in the returning function just before "return
$ret_array", then the high CPU load does not occurs (I'm not sure about
memory leak)
     - if now I do an exit just after calling the function, then the high
CPU load occurs (I'm not sure about memory leak). It looks like if
$ret_array "moves" out of the function, a high CPU load occurs... I have
tried with references, unset, etc... before/after calling the function to
help the garbage collection at the end of the script but it doesn't help,
I always have the high CPU load.

    Do you have any idea of what's happening?
