PHP 5.0.0RC3 and Oracle Memory Errors

Question

I have been getting Apache.exe Application Errors as I am testing PHP5. The exact error message is: The instruction at "0x77f83aed" referenced memory at "0x00080000". The memory could not be "written".
Environment:
OS: Windows XP Professional with SP1
Server: Apache 1.3.31 (Win32)
PHP Version: 5.0.0RC3
DB: Oracle 8.4.7 on Unix machine.
Script Instructions:
If I run this script and refresh my browser a few times so that this script is re-executed, I will get the error. Please try this out if you have a similar environment and let me know if you see this problem.
Script:
<?php
class Test {
var $_results;
var $_ncount;
function display() {
$conn = oci_connect("scott", "tiger", "your-host-name");
$stmt = oci_parse($conn, "select ENAME from emp");
oci_execute($stmt);
$this->_ncount = oci_fetch_all($stmt, $this->_results);
oci_free_statement($stmt);
oci_close($conn);
for ($i = 0; $i < $this->_ncount; $i++) {
     echo $this->_results["ENAME"][$i];
$test = new Test();
$test->display();
?>
My Initial Observation:
It appears that the oci calls in conjunction with a loop functions in php can cause the memory problems. When I remove the for loop. I do not get the problem and if I manually assign the array to $_results without making the call to the oci functions, then I don't get the error.
I would be interested in hearing from any of you that are testing your code against php5.

I have the same problem.
We are running Apache 1.3.31 on W2k and PHP 5.0.1 with simplified code:
<?
$db = oci_connect("scott", "tiger", "");
oci_close($db);
?>
The first time of execution works well. Clicking "Refresh" in the browser leads to the described error.
At first we tested on Apache2, but ist seems to be a problem with the new php_oci8.dll in PHP 5.0.1
