Now I'm really confused. I built the whole thing statically and it still
leaks:
the static build (using the same Perl):
~/test/prefix/bin/perl Makefile.PL EVERYTHING=1 \
APACHE_PREFIX=$(echo ~/test/prefix/apache) \
APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.19 DO_HTTPD=1
Now it still leaks 520K per restart:
> make start_httpd_fork
../apache_1.3.19/src/httpd -f `pwd`/t/conf/httpd.conf -d `pwd`/t
> ps -o pid,vsz,comm -p $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
PID VSZ COMMAND
4877 7856 httpd
> kill -USR1 $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
> ps -o pid,vsz,comm -p $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
PID VSZ COMMAND
4877 8488 httpd
> kill -USR1 $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
> ps -o pid,vsz,comm -p $(cat t/logs/httpd.pid )
PID VSZ COMMAND
4877 9108 httpd
This is on Redhat 7.1 (not Linux 7.1 as I said below). I didn't bother
trying it on Solaris.
You don't suppose building with APACHE_PREFIX could have anything to do
with it, do you? I haven't heard of any leaks with a static build.
