I've been running this for nearly a week on my medium-volume backup MX, and if there's a memory leak, it's a very slow one. My baseline (off-peak) vsize for spfmilter started out as 10340 on 7/20 and then increased to 10396 on 7/21 and to 10460 on 7/23. Nonetheless, it does appear to be leaking. I can't actually prove that it's libspf0 leaking, though, since I'm not stable enough without the patch to take any real measurements. According to my etch system, whitelister is the only other package using libspf0. It's probably worth getting in touch with its maintainer to get his take. -- Mike Markley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
