The other thing that the 7.0.01 release appears to break is AREA LDAP
authentication. None of the settings for AREA that worked on a 7.0
server are working on 7.0.01.

Subject: ARS 7.0.01 Memory Leak


** Just wanted to send a note and inform anyone planning to upgrade to
7.0.01 that it is not production ready.  We implemented this in a
production environment, only to find massive memory leaks in the
product.  The arserverd process will continue to run fine until it
reaches the upper limits of the 32-bit memory address space (~4gb), at
which time it will crash.  We observed between 600-700mb of additional
memory allocation on our systems per day until we reached that upper
limit.  Our system handles ~200 support people concurrently, though I am
not sure if this has a bearing on the speed at which memory is
allocated. 

We were given a patch (which will become the patch 001 for 7.0.01), but
it is pre-restricted release, which I am being told means it will be 3
or more weeks before the patch is at the general release level.  Trying
to save anyone the headache in case they planned to venture down this
road any time soon. 

Relavent Environment Info:
- Oracle 9i with AL32UTF8 character set
- Oracle 10g client
- Solaris 9
- ARS 7.0.01
- Mixture of clients, ranging from 5.x to 7.0.01


I have been told the same problem has been exhibited on Linux as well.
Not sure if it pertains to the db, the client versions, the character
sets, etc.
