Re: Memory leaks in RLib 1.3.5 / RLib CVS Version(s) libxml2 calls?! HELP!!!

Bob,

Thanks for such a quick response.  I have downloaded RLib 1.3.6 and
installed it on our server (server software described below).  In our
Apache logs we still get child processes dying whenever a report is run
using RLib.

Apache log file:

I am looking into the use of valgrind and will report as soon as I
figure out how to use it :)

Thanks!
Chris
