I've tested on proftd-1.2.0rc2 and people confirmed that this bug exist in the latest CVS version. I had no time to look at the code so no patch is currently available. Developers have just been informed. +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Wojciech Purczynski wp () elzabsoft pl http://www.elzabsoft.pl/~wp | | GSM: +48604432981 Linux Administrator SMS: wp-sms () elzabsoft pl | +------ Public GnuPG Key: http://www.elzabsoft.pl/~wp/gpg.asc ------+
The developers of proftpd have tried to confirm this bug, using scripts to issue the SIZE command for hundred thousands of iterations, and failed to verify that it does indeed exist. Versions of proftpd tested: pre10, rc1, rc2, and CVS. All failed to show symptoms of this memory leak. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- TJ Saunders tj () rad geology washington edu System Administrator Phone: (206) 685-8266 Remote Sensing Lab Fax: (206) 685-2379 University of Washington ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
