However, the apt-cacher.pl process appear not to exit during the time for this bug report. I do not know whether these processes will die in the near future. If they do not die, apt-cacher will use all the memory (and other resources) of the system. So this bug might be release critical. I do not see this happening on unstable, hence the sarge tag.
