Package: super
Version: 3.30.3-2+b2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Starting with Debian Trixie, a systemd service with LimitNOFILE=infinity
will get an fd limit of 2^30 file descriptors (see #1029152). If such a
service (like inn2) is then executing a script via super, super will
allocate 4GB of memory just for option parsing (4 bytes per possible
file descriptor for storing a boolean, see option_local_clear_settings()).

This was a very unexpected regression after the update to Trixie, when two
simultaneous invocations almost brought a server to a standstill due to
excessive swapping.

With best regards,
Alex
