oci_close bug

I've run into this bug:

http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=29902

I'm beside myself trying to get around this. My application is dying after processing 20 transactions because there is no way to
close the connection. I've tried downloading and building the latest 5.1 CVS source via

cvs -d :pserver:cvsread@cvs.php.net:/repository checkout -r PHP_5_1 php-src

But this didn't help. The oci_close still always fails.

I have no control over the Oracle database to increase the number of sessions, nor am I likely to convince the DB admin to do so,
nor do I think this is a good idea anyway.

Does anybody have any ideas for a reasonable workaround to this ? I'm a little baffled as to why the latest source didn't fix the
problem. It was announced on 9/7 that the fix was in the CVS source. This is a little disappointing to say the least. We've been
building this app for over 4 months, and only now do we realize that we can't really do the Oracle part that we wanted to.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,
John
