Description:
I am experiencing memory leaks of about 7MiB/sec when using a homebrew program. About 50+ people (using about all possible distros) are using the the same and no complaints so far from them. A homebrew program, being used by 50+ people I can only assume its the same bug concerning getaddrinfo() as: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712178 as the the only other greater libraries the program is compiled against are sdl from [extra] and [jansson] from stable. Additional info: * happens with glibc 2.14.4 from testing * running x86_64 Steps to reproduce: get program, compile, run --> memleak ( the program is a client to a specific local game, sources can be found at: git clone git://code.nerd2nerd.org/project.git revision:e65c5f558412d) Regards, Thomas |

You will need to run the game server under valgrind to get more info on where the leak is as I am not going to do that for you...
And if glibc was fixed it's obviously a different issue and I'll investigate further in this.
Thank you anyhow.
