perldoc DBD::Informix::TestHarness You previously asked "Is 1.00.PC2 good, bad, indifferent", or words to that effect. It is the current official version, so there isn't an official later version for you to upgrade to -- in that sense, you are out of luck in that there isn't a fixed version available to you. I do have, as I mentioned, a couple of other pseudo-versions with some bug-fixes in them. However, I'm not convinced they are the leak you are running into -- I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not optimistic. Which version of ESQL/C are you using? It should be the version from CSDK 2.70.UC1 (aka ESQL/C 9.51.UC1), but most recent versions should be OK. FWIW: I use Solaris 7 (SunOS 2.7) on a Sparc, so once you've got the reproduction nailed, it should be trivial for me to reproduce. One interesting thing is that you have a 7.31 server; that means the problem is not in the way that the new (9.x-only) data types are handled; I wouldn't have been wholly surprised to find leaks in some of that code.
