interesting - you are suggesting that settype does free the memory
directly? I have seen a number of posts to internals regarding to
being able to free up memory in long-running/heavy cli scripts...
none of the devs mentioned settype() ... maybe you know something
nobody else does :-)

darn, no easy fix then.

why didn't you paste the code verbatim? - typing it over by hand
(or approximating) is a waste of (other) peoples time. (i.e. they are
trying to help you fix code that doesn't really exist)
