[debian-mysql] Bug#744108: mysql-proxy: major memory leak introduced in wheezy

[Arto Jantunen]

Package: mysql-proxy
Version: 0.8.1-1.1+b1
Severity: important

The upgrade to wheezy introduced a fairly major memory leak in
mysql-proxy. It needs a restart at least once a week to avoid OOM. We
are running mysql-proxy with what I expect to be fairly standard
options, --plugins=proxy --log-use-syslog --log-level=message and four
proxy backends.

Upstream claims to have fixed a suitably serious sounding memory leak in
0.8.4 (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17952_01/mysql-proxy-relnotes-en/mysql-proxy-news-0-8-4.html),
is it possible to backport the patch from there and update the package
in stable?
