I’ve just been valgrinding it for several hours. I see some small leaks — mostly not freeing on exit type of leaks. The only sustained leaks are those from regexec. Looks like it leaks a fair amount. Hitting it with a several hundred http requests eats up 128k or so of memory.

One solution I saw was to regfree the regexes periodically, to free the retained memory it’s using.

Might have to implement that. Under normal usage, it probably isn’t an issue, and it might be that you would only see it in heavy use (or maybe only ever see it in stress tests), but it’s worth fixing anyway. Probably won’t get to it tonight, though, I’m about done for the night.
