[Soaplite-devel] Memory leak on 64bit Fedora

[Levente T. <le...@ta...>]

Hi,

yesterday we discovered a problem using soap::lite, namely on 64bit 
Fedora 10 it is leaking memory about 100bytes/request, however it is 
working perfectly on 32bit Fedora 10. I installed the latest from CPAN. 
The problem is now narrowed down to the requests made with ->result at 
the end, letting the module handle the deserialization of the packet. I 
checked it by using a simple test pinging a pokersource network several 
times a second for a while.
Once I initialize the object with outputxml('true'), the leak is gone, 
but naturally I can't call ->result on the returning string.

did anyone noticed the same problem?
The worst part is that even if I destroy our object that has the 
soap::lite reference, the memory doesn't get cleaned up, so I think it 
points a little out of perl's range. I suspect a bug somewhere in the 
XML parser.

Any idea?
Levente
