I, too, have experienced memory leaks on DEC3100 (MIPS) running
Ultrix 3.1, 3.2, and 4.0. At first I thought that it was due to
problems with the MIPS C compiler, and was going to try compiling
with GNU, but with warnings enabled I got nearly 200 pages of
possible problems and gave up trying to find out where they all
were. Most of our problems stem from running QUIPU. It would run
about 18 hours and then die. Restarting got to be a problem because
the startup DSA gets overwritten once the data is fetched from the
master, but what is fetched cannot be used to restart the DSA. If
there are patches to the QUIPU code, that might help. I had alwasy
assumed that the problem was there because we could run the rest of
the ISODE for days without problems (but then, nothing banged on it
as much as QUIPU).
