Sad to say, I'm not as fortunate as you. I'm leaking ~4.4Mb which each
HUP (I haven't tried USR1). I'm also using Perl 5.6.1 and 1.25_01-dev
(the CVS snapshot modperl_20010614113010.tar.gz). I'm doing a PerlRequire
if that is significant.
One more thing - I'm building mod_perl using apxs. I don't know if that
makes a difference.
