[Bug 422138] Re: Slow memory leak, seen on two machines, appears to be dupe of 224945 even after -updates

Hi Stefan, thanks for the response. My responses are in-line.

No, same behavior. Long-running children just never free up the memory 
as long as I am hitting the SSL port, seemingly regardless if I pass an 
algorithm to AB or not. I see radically different (as in this time, 
normal) behavior if I hit the non-SSL port.

It is the index.php for the CodeIgniter framework, the redirect is 
somewhat contrived, as it's handled by some internal CodeIgniter stuff 
that I am not very familiar with. I don't think PHP is involved at all 
in the leak, since the non-HTTPS port works fine.

That wouldn't really help since long-running children just hold onto 
memory no matter what it seems.


I feel like this issue would be huge and brought up by someone else by 
now if it's an actual regression. Does the package information I put in 
the beginning look right?
