(RADIATOR) Memory leak in one of the modules or perl executable.

[Mike McCauley]

Hello Dan,

I wasnt able to reproduce this problem here with Radiator 3.1, your config 
file and testing with

./radpwtst -service_type Authenticate-Only -nas_port_type Virtual -notrace 
-user mikem-fred -iterations 100000

On my linux box, size of raadiusd stabilised quickly at 5616 Kb.

What version of Radiator are you using, and what flags are you passing to your 
radpwtst?


Cheers.
