Thanks Scott,

Yes, I am running some small cgi stuff, so that is likely it.

I didn't see a tarball for v3.5.9 on the sourceforge site,
and not being much of a manual CVSer, not sure how I
would checkout v35bp.  Would it be:

cvs  -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/aolserver
co aolserver_v35_bp

?

No, you're not being paranoid. Are you using nscgi and running CGI
scripts? If so, then you're running into this problem (from the
ChangeLog):

2003-04-04  Scott S. Goodwin  <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

    * nscgi/nscgi.c: (bug) Ns_DStringInit called in CgiExec was
destroying the
       linked list used to maintain the list of dstrings in use by the
module,
       resulting in a memory leak for every cgi script run.



You can get AOLserver 3.5.9 or later (better yet, go grab the latest
CVS copy on the v35bp branch), or go into nscgi.c and remove the line
that reads:

    Ns_DStringInit(&dsPtr);

from the CgiExec function, and recompile.

/s.
