I&#39;m looking into memory leak issues with mod_skinny, and it seems clear that it&#39;s repeatedly allocating memory when it<br>
doesn&#39;t really need to hang onto it permanently.<br>
<br>
Since it has both a long standing connection to each device (listener) and has requests coming in regularly that<br>
currently are allocating memory and appear to be leaking it since the listener stays around.<br>
<br>
Would having the code allocate a new temporary sub-pool for each request that comes in be appropriate, or would it be<br>
better to just use regular malloc for those allocate/use/destroy cases?<br>
