Here's the NEWS entry:
News for the 1.4.8 release (11/03/2000)
Fixed memory leak in destination files (occured if you had several macro-expanded files)
Yes, we definitely have a lot of those, from this entry: file("/var/log/syslog/$HOST/$PROGRAM/$YEAR.$MONTH.$DAY" ...) Which so far today has resulted in [~] $ find /var/log/syslog/ -type f -name `date +%Y.%m.%d` | wc -l 102 There's more expansions on a bad day when lots of stuff breaks ;)
Scott, this should fix your memory problems.
I just put it into production; I'll post back in few days (which is normally plenty of time to see the leak). Thanks again for all your help. I will remove my several-gig debug logs now ;)
