PHP script memory leak problem

I am running PHP code from the command line. The problem is that memory consumption is much larger than it should be. I cannot, for the life of me, find out where memory is consumed.

for ($i=0;$i<100;$i++)  
        {
            $classObject = $classObjects[$i];                       

            echo $i . "   :   " . memory_get_usage(true) . "\n";
            $classDOM = $scraper->scrapeClassInfo($classObject,$termMap,$subjectMap);           
            unset($classDOM);           
        }

In my opinion, the memory consumed by my script should remain more or less constant after each iteration of the loop. Any memory consumed $scraper->scrapeClassInfo()must be freed when its members go out of scope.

This is the output file I get. For brevity, I show every tenth line of output:

0   :   5767168
10   :   12058624
20   :   18350080
30   :   24903680
40   :   30932992
50   :   37748736
60   :   43778048
70   :   49807360
80   :   55836672
90   :   62914560
97   :   66846720

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 44 bytes) in /home/content/60/8349160/html/drexel/simple_html_dom.php on line 1255

Finally, as far as I can see, what he is doing $scraper->scrapeClassInfo()should not be the culprit, but just in case, here is the code:

function scrapeClassInfo($class,$termMap,$subjectMap)
        {
            $ckfile = tempnam ("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE");
            $ckfile2 = tempnam ("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE2");
            $ckfile3 = tempnam ("/tmp", "CURLCOOKIE3");         

            $termpage = $termMap[$class['termcode']];
            $subjectpage = $subjectMap[$class['subjectcode']];
            $classpage = $class['classlink'];

            //hit the main page and get cookie
            $ch = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $this->mainURL);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
            curl_exec($ch);
            curl_close($ch);

            //hit the term page and get cookie
            $ch = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile2);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $termpage);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
            curl_exec($ch);
            curl_close($ch);

            //hit the subject page and get cookie
            $ch = curl_init();
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR, $ckfile3);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile2);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $subjectpage);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
            curl_exec($ch);
            curl_close($ch);

            //hit the class page and scrape
            $ch = curl_init();              
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, $ckfile3);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $classpage);
            curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
            $result = curl_exec($ch);
            curl_close($ch);

            return str_get_html($result);
        }

The method that is called on the last line str_get_html()is a member of the Simple HTML DOM Parser
