Full_Name: Bill MacAllister Version: 2.4.18 OS: Debian 5.0 URL: http://www.stanford.edu/~whm/files/slapd/readme.html Submission from: (NULL) (75.26.167.150)
We have observed what we believe to be a memory leak in OpenLDAP 2.4.18 in testing while dynlist support. We have a script that randomly expands the member lists
of groups defined using dynlist. Running this script for a period of about 24 hours forces the slapd process to swap.
It is not clear at all that dynlist is the problem because we were not able to see the problem with our test script until we surrounded each query with a bind/unbind. (At least we didn't wait long enough to see it.) All queries perform GSSAPI binds to the directory. The problem is unaffected by using either the MIT or Heimdal GSSAPI libraries.
Our build of OpenLDAP 2.4.18 follows the debian configuration with the exceptions: * Patch for ITS6287 * Patch for ITS6308 * Patch to the index slots * disable support for tcp_wrappers and disable rlookups
