Greetings. I have recently done some testing with OpenSSL versions 0.9.8i and 0.9.8j. Basically, the application is opening 10,000 connections between a client and server on the same Linux machine. I've noticed quite a difference in memory utilization when monitered with the top command. 0.9.8i will show an increase in memory from before the connections being opened to after of maybe 1-2 GB. (The system has 32 GB available) With 0.9.8j, from before the connections being opened to after, an increase of 12+ GB is observed. This is quite a difference, and may be causing some problems. At one point, the program seg faulted with a "double free or corruption" error. I can not reproduce this consistently, however. Everything runs well with version 0.9.8i. I'm wondering if anyone might know what is responsible for the significant difference in memory usage between the two versions? I have done some searching, and found one issue with a memory leak in version 0.9.8j: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.encryption.openssl.devel/14996 But I don't think this is what I am seeing. From the CHANGES log, I noticed that TLS extensions are enabled by default in 0.9.8j, but don't know if that's the reason for the increase in memory usage. Thanks in advance.
