I have been running a setup with 4.5.6 collecting messages by GnuTLS
only, and logging to a file; and the problem has failed to materialise.
Perhaps I didn't run it for long enough; but a few hours is normally
sufficient for serious memory depletion to occur, and it hasn't so far.

The other variables are that only one (LAN) client is logging to this
instance - all previous runs have involved multiple clients, some
logging via the internet; and that only one input and one output method
is configured. Previous tests have had both imudp and imtcp configured,
and have used both omfile and ommysql.

I've now changed this from logging to a file to log via mySQL. If that
remains stable after several hours, I'll reconfigure with dual input and
output methods; then with multiple clients. Eventually I should be able
to describe a method of replication.
