Cherrypy 3.1.1 / Apache 2 / Ubuntu 8.10 bad memory leak

[A Lynch]

I'm getting a 20MB memory leak when I refresh my browser (FF, IE,
Chrome) against a cherrypy service running behind apache:

SetEnv proxy-nokeepalive 1
ProxyPass http://localhost:8080/services
ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:8080/services

I don't get the memory leak when running locally on my dev machine
(without apache).

Is there anything obvious to look for? I tried removing the proxy-
nokeepalive but it made no difference

thanks

Sorry to reply to myself but I just discovered the same is happening
on the server even with no apache involved... any tips on how to debug
memory leaks in cherrypy?

OK sorry about the noise, the leak was in python.shelve (shelf.close()
doesn't seem to be freeing the memory)

Any general tips on how to go about solving memory leaks in cherrypy
threads still appreciated ;-)

thanks, I'll take a look at that, I guess it has to be a separate
cherrypy instance?

Nope, as far as I know you mount is along side your normal app.
