[misterhouse-users] Perl 5.6 memory leak

[Bruce W. <br...@mi...>]

I recently installed ActiveState's perl 5.6 on both a Windows98 and Windows
2000 systems.  In both cases, it seems that mh will periodically leak
memory.

I haven't monitored the Windows 98 box too closely yet (taskman98 is the
best thing I have found to monitory memory on 98), but on Windows 2000, I
can set alerts using the Performance monitor and it seems that mh adds about
30 meg of memory every once and a while!  I have to restart mh every 24
hours or so or I will get > 120 meg of virtual memory used.

On the same systems, I can run mh.exe (compiled pre 5.6) without a problem.

Is anyone else using 5.6 yet?
