Hi Kristi -

This

1.0.1)

It appears this slow memory leak is due to message logging by CMLOG.  After
extremely tedious testing, it appears that ~200+/-50 bytes are lost with
every message that is logged by CMLOG.  I know the ioc in question logs 
many messages (1000's a day) compared to all other iocs here.  When I use
our 
old-style homegrown rpc message logging, no memory is lost (I suggest you
try 
reverting back to this method and see if it makes a diff).  

Has anybody else seen this problem?  We use cmlog R2.0.beta.

Thanks,

Stephanie Allison
