Hi,

Any progress on this bug? I need libnet-rawip-perl for an event that's held
once a year, and it was a bit odd to crash into the same leak this year as
the last one :-)

http://pr0n.sesse.net/tg08/?fullscreen=1#304 has a nice image of our server's
memory usage with an unpatched libnet-rawip-perl =)
