This has nothing to do with the memory leak in your program. This command
flushes out the internal caching in the OS kernel. It will only screw up

If you are using -s file I think the command might flush out parts of
Varnish cache as well. If you are using -s malloc then it won't have any
effect.

Restart the PHP application or fix the leak.
