Sounds like a memory leak in nscgi. Can you send me the perl script and your nsd.tcl file? I'll see if I can duplicate the problem, track it down and fix it.
thanks,

I know this subject was addressed a while ago but I'm curious to know if there has been any resolution to this.
We have setup a linux box running aolserver 3.5 w/ tcl 8.4.2 and have performed the following tests:
1. Running a very simple perl cgi 2. Running an ADP to do the same as the cgi 3. Running an ADP that execs a command
We hammered the snot of the aolserver in each case and case 1 above leaked memory (about 2MB a minute at full throtle) - the other two did not leak memory.
In the previous thread it was mentioned that perhaps the leaks were related to 'exec' in a multithreaded app. But in this case, execs from tcl did not result in a leak - only those for the CGI processing.
Does anyone know what could cause this or what a potential solution is? (Of course long term we will convert all of our cgis to adps, but that will take time - we'd like to switch out the webserver before then).
Any information would be most welcome,
Thanks, Matthew
