BTW, it's not the recursive nature of the function causing the problem. 
It's the movement of the internal pointer within the array. When it 
moves the COW realizes the copy's pointer has moved and splits off the 
copy. You can verify this by echoing the memory usage when you first 
enter carray(). The spike occurs inside the foreach loop.
