Made this change:
<CODE>-----------
LogMessage(DEBUG_0, "allocated %ld", malloc_usable_size(inst));
free(inst);
free(inst);
return 0;
-----------</CODE>
Still no seg fault.
The reason im am doing this is that from top I can see the memory grow as I
connect to this app.
When I disconnect, the memory used ( as displayed from top ) does not decrease.
I tried:
<CODE>-------------
char *chunk;
chunk = (char*) malloc(1200000);
sleep(30);
free(chunk)
sleep(30);
free(inst);
free(inst);
------------------</CODE>
Top show the memory for the chunk section increase and then decrease when freed
However, the when I leave the worker thread ( close the connection ), the
memory usage does not decrease.
The more connections I open and close, the faster the memory grows.
