Re: pluto using 800M

| I just had to restart the ipsec subsystem on www.freeswan.org. It is
| running OE. Pluto was using about 800M of memory. I've made a barf
| before restarting it: www.xtdnet.nl/paul/pluto-800M.barf
| Though I don't believe it contains any useful information on the
| memory leak.
| 
| It's version Linux FreeS/WAN 2.03-pre0. I will upgrade it to 2.04.

I admit that I haven't looked at the barf.  It agree that it probably
won't help.

How long was pluto running?  [This might give an idea of how fast the
leak is.]

Can you duplicate the problem easily?  [This makes diagnosis easier.]

If you are willing to recompile pluto, there is a compile-time macro
to select malloc debugging.  See "LEAK_DETECTIVE" in
freeswan/programs/pluto/Makefile.

If you can repeat the experiment with 2.02, it might be help to
determine if the problem was introduced between 2.02 and 2.03.

Thanks for the report.
