memory leaks and other problems with rlm_ippool

[Peter Nixon]

Hi Guys

I am consistently finding that if you create more than one IP Pool bigger 
than a class B network that FreeRADIUS fails to start with an error saying 
that it cannot fork. It can however be run in debug mode with this config. 
I have tested this on a number of different servers with a number of 
different versions of FreeRADIUS and on SUSE Linux Enterprise 9, SUSE Pro 
9.2, SUSE Pro 9.3 and some random version of Turbo Linux that a customer 
had.

Also, one customer who had only a single class B IP Pool with about 10,000 
clients connecting and disconnecting on a regular basis (Around 300 Auth 
requests and associated Accounting packets per minute between 8am and 
midnight) is seeing their FreeRADIUS grow over the course of a couple of 
days until the Linux OOM killer kills it. (Making their customers very 
unhappy until they restart their server) Their server is fully patched 
SLES9 running FreeRADIUS 1.0.4

Does anyone have any ideas? Surely someone else must have seen these 
problems. I can't be the only person running multiple, large IP Pools...
