You are NOT the only one reporting these memory leak issues.. (a search of this forum would reveal that as there are MULTIPLE threads all pointing to these memory leak issues - particularly prominent where the server is running PHP 5.4 with v1.5.1 of Zen Cart) The APPEAR to point to being a server issue, but they ARE NOT server related at all.. And I am going to keep emphasizing this point because I don't want folks who read this thread to get the wrong information and try to apply the WRONG FIX to this problem.. Fixing a SOFTWARE related memory leak with a HARDWARE tweak is like applying a band-aid and pressure dressing to bullet wound.

A memory leak is an unintentional form of memory consumption whereby a piece of code fails to free an allocated block of memory when no longer needed
Memory leaks look like a hardware issue, but it ABSOLUTELY IS NOT a hardware issue..
