I posted a patch in there somewhere which fixes the core dumps on graceful
restarts. I've pasted the patch in here.
No idea where Ralf is, he responded briefly about the patch, but it does not
seem to be a priority to him. Unfortunately, it seems to be quite a show
stopper for many people at this time.
The memory leak when built as a DSO is very small, unless you do hundreds or
thousands of restarts, when it may start to become a problem if you are low
on memory.
Here's the patch to fix the segfaults:
