Summary: Out of memory errors during genxref

Initial Comment:
I'm not sure where the problem arises - I have spent 
hours (8+) attempting to debug the code and looked 
through CVS to see where previous leaks were fixed 
but to no avail.  
My MySQL "lxr.files" table currently contains 4400 files.
My repository contains thousands of font files and 
other non-indexable files.
My repository contains hundreds of files generated 
with old (9+ years) versions of RCS which results 
in "co" errors.

Using Devel::Leak I believe the biggest leak is 
when "co" fails - under these circumstances I think the 
FileHandle is not "undef" but actually contains the  
error message from "co". Perhaps parsing this causes 
a problem?

In any case Devel::Leak shows each file generates 2 
leaks per file (even when indexing successfully) - I 
think %files lib/LXR/Index/Mysql.pl causes one as it 
keeps getting appended - is it possible to include %
files = undef in the "empty_cache" function?

Other than that I am at a loss for ideas.
I am running very old versions of perl and MySQL 
which I hope to update and may be the cause, but I 
expect they are not the only reason for the problem.

I am running:
LXR 0.9.1
mysql 3.22.30
ectags 5.0.1
HP-UX 10.20
