I "ElectricFenced" it instead of valgrinding it. Efence did not detect any "problems" until it "ran out of memeory". I'll give valgrind a shot.

Let me understand this, you were seeing a leak when using a PERL script to send UDP packets using Net::RawIP _to_ syslong_ng.
Exact, the perl-related process was leaking, no syslog involved. We had to hand-craft the UDP packets since the spoofing only works partially from our POV.
I am still experiencing clear leak behavior when using syslog-ng to send spoffed UDP packets to other syslog-ng's. The syslog-ng sender is leaking, the receiver is exhibitning normal behavior.
You could valgrind the process ... http://valgrind.kde.org/ Sorry for not being more helpful to you in this matter, Roberto Nibali, ratz -- ------------------------------------------------------------- addr://Rathausgasse 31, CH-5001 Aarau tel://++41 62 823 9355 http://www.terreactive.com fax://++41 62 823 9356 ------------------------------------------------------------- terreActive AG Wir sichern Ihren Erfolg ------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ syslog-ng maillist - syslog-ng@lists.balabit.hu https://lists.balabit.hu/mailman/listinfo/syslog-ng Frequently asked questions at http://www.campin.net/syslog-ng/faq.html
