Got rather a shock this morning when I discovered twenty odd emails in my Inbox!! I can see why open source development moves so fast ;)
;)
The version in CVS looks good. It consumes very little memory now, starts off at 0.6%. I think there is still a small leak, it creaps up very slowly at about 0.1% every 5 minutes. I can see this being very difficult to track...
I think it's not coming from the filters this time, but from your other code. Or does this filter is the only thing that you use? I've tested things with a single server mode and run about 100MB of data on each request and I haven't seen a single byte leak. I think what you see is the normal memory unsharing, which gradually happens over the time. Apache::SizeLimit (or Apache::GTopLimit ) keeps those servers restricted in size (search perl.apache.org for more info).
If you want me to run any tests, I would be happy to do so.
If you can start the server in a single mode and run your normal code a few times and check whether you still see the leak or not. You need to start with:
httpd -DONE_PROCESS -DNO_DETACH
Thank you for your hard work and effort over the past few days, it is very much appreciated!
On the opposite, it was fun and I've learned a few things ;)
