It seems that (part of) this leak can be triggered with something like: $LAB->visit_packages (sub { my ($entry) = @_; while (1) { eval { $entry->info->index (''); }; $entry->clear_cache; } }); So, somewhere in the load of our index do we or perl leak something. ~Niels -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
