Hi Wes I have just tested the new code from CVS - I didn't do a diff to see the changes - just compiled and installed over what I had. I bombarded the snmptrapd with traps and saw the memory utilisation grow from 10MB to 50MB in a few minutes.
Can I do some further testing here to help out debugging?

I now know quite a bit more about perl internal programming, which I always meant beef up my knowledge on. I doubt I'll remember it tomorrow though (sigh). Anyway, the main-line CVS TrapReceiver.xs file is now completely memory leak free. Note that there are a number of things you should consider when debugging memory with snmptrapd: 1) get the latest TrapReceiver.xs from cvs as mentioned above (I can mail it to you if you really can't get to the cvs tree; see http://www.net-snmp.org/cvs/ for details). 2) note that snmptrapd keeps logs around of the last few traps sent to it. This will make it appear that memory is growing, though it should eventually top out. To turn this off so it never saves anything, put this following line in your snmptrapd.conf file: dontRetainLogs true With those two in place my process never grows and vagrind shows no leaks. -- Wes Hardaker Sparta, Inc.
