Subject: cf-serverd memory leak still (v3.1.2)

Hi!

Looks like memory leak still...

cfengine 3.1.2 on freebsd 7.1 i386/amd64:

I'm seeing leaks with 3.1.2 on Linux amd64 too. The amounts are less high than Igor's, but I have set up some graphs, which clearly show cf-execd, cf-serverd and cf-monitord growing steadily:



This graph follows the RSS size as reported by "ps". Therefore, it is a representation of in-memory pages, roughly speaking.

I restarted all Cfengine daemons on the 15th. I had to cut the graph off after the 18th, as we ran some unrelated tests on the machine, causing it to start swapping, and muck up the graphs... Sorry.

This machine is a dedicated machine to monitor Cfengine's daemons : it's a freshly installed Debian 5 (64 bits), no options, just the Cfengine 3.1.2 package installed. There are no connections to cf-serverd. cf-execd runs cf-agent every 5 minutes, which just updates it's promises from another cf-serverd, and checks a few things locally (install packages, check config files, run processes...).

This is just a short excerpt, but all 3 processes continue to grow, eating up all the RAM there is, then all the swap space, and finally crashing the machine. Of course, I could just restart them every night, but this is a test machine, so I'm not worried about hiding the problem, just observing and fixing it :)

I'm happy to look into this further with valgrind, or whatever you may need, if the problem can't be reliably reproduced elsewhere (I can even give root access to this VM to someone at Cfengine AS).

Regards,
Jonathan
