In this case, it would be a memory leak in the parent, not in the child, since the problem happens when the server is shutting down and restarting.  So having the children die off doesn't do any good because the new children get spawned with an image of the parent, leaked memory and all.  Restart the server enough times, and your parent process gets to be pretty big in memory (and therefore its children do, too).   --Cliff
