asterisk users - Mar 2004 - PRI and Voicemail Memory increasing

Hi,

With the current CVS as of last night 20:00GMT

I was testing a asterisk with the e100p card using a PRI analyzer to excerise
the 30 channels over and over, just going directly to voice-mail.

Basically, I don't know what is going on but every time a PRI channel is
picked
up about 8K memory is used, but it is never released, I ran the test for about
four hours last night, and th server started with 100Mb usage, and after 4 hours
the memory usage had climbed to 270Mb.

After some research and a few changes this is my current observation

1st Observation:
After the memory leak was discovered I turned astmm on and recompiled *. The
'show memory allocations' and 'show memory summary' commands did
not
indicate that any of the * internals were growing during the test run.

2nd Observation:
When I first boot the system (mod probes for zaptel and wct1xxp and * are run up
from rc.local and there are no ISDN calls running) the memory is already leaking
by 8Kb every few seconds. If I stop * and then restart it the "memory
leak"
stops until I start making ISDN calls...

Does anyone have any advice to release the memory or stop the leak?

Thanks

Robb

Where are you getting the values for the memory usage? Are you just
using the free memory on the system?
