The entire memory management was rewritten in apc-3.1.x branch.

If you want to really throw your weight behind getting it to stable,
I'd ask you to test the svn which I'm sort of polishing up to a 3.1.4
release (which I want to call "stable"). Though maybe, really it's just
time for another Beta before I flip it over as stable.

I want people to do some solid QA on it, because the unit tests barely
qualify as real tests under load, which is where the stability really
gets tested.
