[Asterisk-Users] Memory leak in asterisk CVS

[Walter Klomp]

Hi Erik,

You put me to a page which refers to high load on CPU on SMP. Nothing to do
with memory leak. Furthermore I am not running SMP.

Any other suggestions in which direction to look?  Am I the only one
experiencing this ?

Do you mean if I update to the today's CVS the memory leak issue will be
resolved ?

Thanks
Walter
