From: "Pierpaolo Fumagalli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: apache-api/2467: Windows/Linux startup/shutdown different behaviour Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 23:11:46 +0200 I found a "working" solution that probably could help in better resolving the problem... the pconf pool is never cleaned in the shutdown process, neither in "main" process, nor in "child" processes. I solved the problem adding these two lines: http_main.c Line 5036) ap_destroy_pool(pconf); (the last row of worker_main() procedure); This does not seem to hurt since under Win32 the pool is created at the beginning of the process (when it is spawned) via malloc() in function malloc_block() in file alloc.c. http_main.c Line 5484) clean_parent_exit(0); (the last row of apache_main() / REALMAIN() procedure); This seems to work since when apache_main() returns, it just return back to the Operating System.
