memory leaks with rlm_perl? (FreeRADIUS bug #221)

[Bjørn Mork]

Hello,

I wonder if you were able to resolve this bug? ref
http://bugs.freeradius.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221

The reason I ask is that I've just experienced a serious memory leak
after upgrading from 1.0.1 to 1.0.5, and we do use rlm_perl so that is
one module to suspect.  It seems that a colleague of mine has had the
same experience previously too, trying to upgrade to 1.0.4.  

We don't really _know_ that rlm_perl is the cause, though...

I will attempt to track the bug down further and provide a test
configuration that will demonstrate the problem.  Just wondered if you
had some ideas we might test first.

FWIW, we've been running 1.0.5 on a test server for a couple of months
without trouble at all.  The problems first showed up when upgrading the
heavily loaded production servers.

Our configuration was not changed at all on upgrade.  I will
eventually provide it to aid recreating the bug, but I need som time
first to remove all private data from it.  Sorry about that.  Feel
free to ignore me until I've been able to do this work.  Just wanted
to give an early warning in case someone has the magic solution at
hand.
