COM support in PHP is rather flaky. Very often objects are not freed,
even when the script ends. If you manually call the Release() method on
the objects, you might to able to free them all. It's tricky though, as
it has to be done in a particular order.

My suggestion is to set up PHP as a CGI application under a different
file extension (e.g. .phpc) and rename that one particular script to
that extension.
