Topic: Memory Leak in Apache 2.2.29 API :ap_run_post_config

[Ishan]

Hi ,
I am using apache and ran Dr. Memory Tool [WIndows]
and getting these memory leaks. Can someone tell how to fix this.
Apache : 2.2.29 Platform : WIndows

Error #84: LEAK 172 direct bytes 0x04e9cc58-0x04e9cd04 + 540 indirect bytes

Code :
if (ap_run_post_config(pconf, plog, ptemp, server_conf) != OK) {
ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_STARTUP |APLOG_ERR,
0, NULL, "Configuration Failed");
destroy_and_exit_process(process, 1);
}

apr_pool_destroy(ptemp);
apr_pool_lock(pconf, 1);

ap_run_optional_fn_retrieve();
#ifdef WIN32
SetConsoleCtrlHandler((PHANDLER_ROUTINE)ConsoleControlHandlers, TRUE);
#endif
// store process in the file scopw s otaht we can clean it up
//stat_process = process;
s_process = process;
if (ap_mpm_run(pconf, plog, server_conf))
break;

apr_pool_lock(pconf, 0);
}
apr_pool_lock(pconf, 0);
destroy_and_exit_process(process, 0);

return 0; /* Termination 'ok' */
}

is apache running out of memory? Does apache crash?

No Apache isn't running out of memory or crashing. But If left for months or years(which is intention for future) with those memory leaks , i think it will create problem.
