Hi

I'm using a auth-perl under Solaris 8 with perl 5.6.1 and have a memory 
leak. I initially thought it was my code, loosely based on the oraclevmail 
script, but I replaced it with something very noddy:

sub auth {
my $packet = shift;
$packet = {
result => 'YES',
uid => 500,
gid => 500,
mailbox => '/var/mail/u/t/akfsut670357',
mboxtype=> 'maildir',
domain => '',
};
$packet;
}

sub auth_finish {
}

& ran it overnight with a exercising script, and the main tpop3d process 
grew to 50Mb!

I'm going to try auth-other instead, but I wonder if anyone else has seen this?


Cheers

John
