Hello folks,

while I certainly remember this theme has been discussed in this forum 
recently, somehow forum search cannot find it. Anyway, here's what I've got.

There are several hosts in my setup which have run Cfengine 3.0.5p1 for few 
months already:

root      6162  0.0  0.3 107004 12448 ?        Ss   Sep08  17:32 
/var/cfengine/bin/cf-execd
root      6473  0.0  3.4 1923772 142204 ?      Ss   Sep08   6:58 
/var/cfengine/bin/cf-serverd

Today they've started floodin' outputs with tons of messages like this:

...
File descriptor 20 of child 8034 higher than MAX_FD, check for defunct children
File descriptor 20 of child higher than MAX_FD, check for defunct children
File descriptor 20 of child 8035 higher than MAX_FD, check for defunct children
File descriptor 20 of child higher than MAX_FD, check for defunct children
...

After restart, both services downsized a lot:

root     11932  0.0  0.3  19164 13708 ?        Ss   12:44   0:00 
/var/cfengine/bin/cf-execd
root     11982  0.0  0.3  19728 14632 ?        Ss   12:44   0:00 
/var/cfengine/bin/cf-serverd

Since memory leaks fix is mentioned in the ChangeLog for the version 3.1.1 in 
cf-serverd, we can hope that this issue has gone (especially if the fix tackles 
cf-execd, too). Anyway, I've found it worth reporting.
