Bug#379810: saslauthd memory leak

[Grzegorz Bizon]

package sasl2-bin
found 379810 2.1.22.dfsg1-23+lenny1
thanks

Hello,

I saw this bug was reported long time ago -- but it seems that this
problem is still present in 2.1.22.dfsg1-23+lenny1.

I'm using saslauthd with pam-mysql (postfix + virtual mailboxes).
After few days saslauthd processes consume more that 1 GB of memory
(saslauthd restart helps).

I'm not able to confirm if it is PAM problem, nevertheless I consider
this bug as serious (maybe changing bug priority is appropriate ?).

My nsswitch.conf content:

passwd:         compat
group:          compat
shadow:         compat

hosts:          files dns
networks:       files

protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files

netgroup:       nis

Versions:

ii  libpam-modules                      1.0.1-5+lenny1
ii  libpam-mysql                        0.6.2-1
