Below is the findleaks output from a ~5minute sample of a python runner - I will take a larger sample to see if this is representative or not: (again the reference is http://blogs.sun.com/sanjeevb/date/200506 )
Thanks

I had a parallel thread on the dtrace list to get memleak.d running
http://blogs.sun.com/sanjeevb/date/200506
- I just got this stack trace from a 10 second sample of the most actively growing python mailman process - the output is explained by Sanjeev on his blog, but I'm hoping the stack trace will point the analysis towards a cause for why my mailman processes are growing abnormally
I will see if the findleaks.pl analysis of this output returns anything
Thanks!
