I'd poke my head into this problem, but I simply don't have anymore time and
gdb being friendly anymore. The leak appears slow enough: 50 restarts leaks 1MB
with 1k virtual hosts, so I'm just going to make my software hard restart the
server every 150 graceful restarts. I can burn three megabytes of ram.
Anyway, the OpenSSL people expect a new release at August, 9th 1999, so I'll
sit tight for that.
If you do find anything out about this memory leak, Ralf, would you mind
posting it to the list.
