Ok, I was just missing the right point to jump in there

Started
/usr/sbin/owserver -uall --usb_regulartime --foreground > owserver_mem.log
and let it run for 13 minutes
Memory-usage grew from 1148kB to 1288kB in this time.
Also ran your perl-script over it, both outputs attached.
There are two DS9490R and a few sensors attached, owfs was pulled from svn this 
morning, please let me know if I should do anything further..


best regards

Michael Markstaller
