Hi Bernard,

 as explained elsewhere, the leak it is only indirectly depending on the 
configuration. Any non-mute config will call the network functions and leak the 
"devname" memory.

 Just an update, over tha last twenty hours an unpatched 3.0.4 gmond has grown 
by 350 KB, while a patched one is still at its initial size (it is even 1 page 
smaller than the unpatched gmond initially was :-) This is a real nasty one and 
I am surprised that it was only detected lately. As far as I know, that bug has 
been in the Linux metrics code since day one.

Cheers
Martin
