[Dxspider-support] Memory Leak in Windows

[Lee Sawkins]

I am running 3 instances of Spider under Win 2K.  
   
  After about 2 weeks I noticed that perl was using about 66 MB of RAM for two of my instances and about 38 MB for the third.   The third does not have many users, but the other two sometimes have as many as 60 each.  Simply closing the three instances and restarting them resulted in a huge drop in RAM usage.  
   
  After 30 minutes, one instance was up to 55 telenet links and was using less than 19 MB of RAM.  With a maximum of 60 users I would expect about 20 MB of RAM to be used.    With only a few users, Spider uses less than 10 MB of RAM. 
   
  So what I am seeing is that after 2 weeks of running I am loosing over 120 MB of RAM due to a memory leak.  Is this normal.
