memory leak in apr_bucket_alloc...
Has anybody else noticed a memory leak when requesting pages less
than 8k? If I repeatedly request pages less than 8k I have noticed that
apr_bucket_alloc() calls allocator_alloc() which seems to continuously
malloc() memory rather than finding it in the free list. The reason why
is because allocator->max_index seems to always be 0 and contain no free
nodes. If I request pages greater than 8k, allocator->max_index appears
to be 2. I can't seem to figure out why the bucket allocator passed in
by apr_bucket_alloc always contains a max_index of 0 on small page
requests. Any ideas?
thanks,
Brad
