php commandline: memory size exhausted

[PROBLEM]
Just ran into the following error:
Caused by a call to php-tidy's "parseString()" function.
[SOLUTION]
Although there was a known issue with php5-tidy regarding bad memory management (Debian bug tracking: #463872, 464074), it was simply bad programming in my case:
I had a hidden recursion that caused the generated XML to grow beyond reasonable size.
To figure that out, I just saved the to-be-parsed XML-string into a temporary file:
So, if you also run into this error, maybe you should also check the xml string you're forwarding to tidy->parseString(). 
Just ran into the following error:
