mapserver fastcgi memory leak

[Ehud Shabtai]

Hi,

I'm using Mapserver 4.8.4 as a fastcgi server along with postgis layers.

Running a simple script which requests the same map over and over shows that
mapserver's memory (RSS) is increasing by about 1MB for every 3 requests.
Mapserver starts with about 10mb and keeps increasing - I got to 200mb and
killed it.

Running shp2image with valgrind shows that the leak is in FreeType:

ft_alloc (ftsystem.c)
