Much depends on what OS you are using, say Linux which caches everything (and
releases those caches when needed), if measuring the memory usage with the
wrong tool, then it will look like you have a memory leak.
If the script uses gd built into PHP, it won't make any difference, if there
is a leak, then there is a leak in the PHP itself., in which case they should
upgrade to the latest stable version.
