Hello Alex, there might be some performance implications by switching to system malloc. There is also easier debugging by internal Kamailio memory manager support.
In this particular example with the leak, Kamailio would use in the end all of the system memory, and the machine out of memory killer will then randomly processes. So the limited memory pool also helps to protect the system against this kind of leaks.

It seems like it would provide unlimited package memory and remove the need to manage it, but I assume there is a reason why this is not done by default. -- Alex > On Jan 5, 2023, at 3:11 AM, Henning Westerholt <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Juha, > > there have been some changes related to that modules indeed for the latest > release. > > Using memory debugging > (http://www.kamailio.org/wiki/tutorials/troubleshooting/memory), in > particular the statistics and/or memory dump will probably show the place > where its allocated.
