There is at least one known file descriptor leak in innd 1.4sec2. Here
is a patch for it:
This is a known problem. I got a fix some while ago (Sorry, so long ago
I forget where it came from - may have been direct from rsalz) and
patched it on to INN 1.4 here. The relevant area, as kluged, now reads
(around line 82 in site.c):
if (AmRoot)
xchown(name);
if (cp) {
if (cp->fd >= 0)
syslog(L_ERROR, "DEBUG ERROR SITEspool trashed:%d %s:%d", cp->fd, sp->Name, i);
WCHANremove(cp);
RCHANremove(cp);
SCHANremove(cp);
close(cp->fd);
cp->fd = i;
return TRUE;
}
sp->Channel = CHANcreate(i, CTfile, CSwriting, SITEreader, SITEwritedone);
if (sp->Channel == NULL) {
I don't think this has made it into the current distribution.
There is another file descriptor leak in innd lurking someplace and I
haven't been able to track it down.
See if this helps.
