[Orca-users] Memory Leak

[chris.l.jones at hsbc.com]

Folks,

I'm suffering from a memory leak on all my Solaris clients.  Version
details below:

      Solaris 8 and 10
      Orca snapshot 531
      RICHPse 3.4.1           (and 3.5.0 dev3)

As an example, se.sparcv9 on one of my clients had a memory footprint of
2466Mb last night, now (20 hours later) it has a footprint of 2498Mb!!

I'm seeing this symptom on all my Solaris clients, it's more problematic on
clients that collect lot's of data, i.e. those with a large number of
disks.

I've seen a number of postings about this issue dating back several years
and questioning whether the problem is with orcallator.se or se itself,
However I can't find any kind of resolution other than regularly restarting
the process which can be a problem on servers with lots of disks as initial
startup eats a lot of CPU (100% of a single core) for a prolonged period -
up to 45 minutes on some of our servers.

Has anyone ever managed to fix this?

Thanks,
Chris.
