I have a really strange problem and although I'm not 100% sure it's due to Apache::Reload, it seems the most likely candidate. This is apache 1.3.29 and mod perl 1.29 with perl 5.6.1 on freebsd 5.2.1. My code is a perl handler and with all the modules preloaded via startup.pl each apache process uses right at 20mb of memory.
When I have apache::reload as an init handler in httpd.conf, apache processes will randomly go from 20mb to 120 or sometimes over 500 mb of memory. I haven't narrowed it down to an exact place in the code that triggers it, because simply taking out apache::reload made it stop. Sometimes I have to run the code dozens of times to trigger the memory usage, other times it happens on the first try. In httpd.conf this is how I had apache::reload: PerlInitHandler Apache::Reload PerlSetVar ReloadAll Off I only had 'use Apache::Reload' in one very small module in my code. Anyone heard of this type of problem before with Apache::Reload?
