Memory allocation question with NuSOAP and XML parsing

I have a memory allocation problem in PHP using NuSOAP and the built in XML
parser. The code below is called in a loop and executed about 1900 times
before it failed. I am using nusoap.php,v 1.76 2004/06/25 13:17:56 snichol
Exp $. I am running PHP version 4.2.2 on RedHat 9.0

I presume I need to unallocated something other than the soapclient, but I'm
nor sure what. This is the code that is called in the loop and the error
message is below. I only needed it to execute another 240 times, but my
data set will continue to grow and the total times this may need to execute
in the future will grow.

Sorry for the large post, but I wanted to show as much as I thought would be
required to provide guidance.

Thank you,

Mark C
