Summary: Memory leak in snmptrapd version <= 5.2.2

Initial Comment:
In snmptrapd version equal or less 5.2.2 there is a
memory leak, which occurs at least in combination with
SNMPTT (SNMP Trap Translator, http://www.snmptt.org).

OS: Centos 4.1 (Linux opisdev.intwwl.net 2.6.9-11.ELsmp
#1 SMP Wed Jun 8 17:54:20 CDT 2005 i686 i686 i386
GNU/Linux)

SNMPTT version: 1.0

Configuration used for Net-SNMP compilation:
./configure 
--with-persistent-directory="/opt/opis/var/net-snmp" 
--prefix=/opt/opis --with-perl-modules
--with-sys-location="Development"
--with-logfile="/opt/opis/var/log/snmpd.log"
--with-default-snmp-version="3"
--with-sys-contact="nms...@wo..."

Procedure to reproduce the leak:

- Install SNMPTT (http://www.snmptt.org)
- Edit snmptrapd.conf, containing only one line:

traphandle default /yourpath/sbin/snmptthandler 
--init=/yourpath/etc/snmptt.ini

- Restart snmptrapd and make sure you receive traps
- Watch the memory footprint of snmptrapd and see it
growing.

Many thanks for sacrifying your time,

Holger (hj...@wo...)

Did you compare with 5.3.pre5? I take it that 5.3.x does
*not* leak?
