[Issue 9365] Mem leaks with Æ-DIR providers

https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9365

--- Comment #9 from Howard Chu hyc@openldap.org --- (In reply to Michael Ströder from comment #8)

Unfortunately this issue is still present, e.g. when running 2.6.1 on Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) and eventually even 22.04 (Jammy).

The customer provided jemalloc profiler call-graphs from the running production env. Are these interesting to look at?

Unlikely. Memory profiles of a running process won't reveal actual leaks, though it may show some areas of heavy memory use. Generally won't know that something has actually leaked unless it is still unfreed after shutdown. I still recommend using this leak tracer https://github.com/hyc/mleak/ since it performs well even in production.
