[postgis-users] Memory leaks?

[Carman, Darren]

Hi,

 

We are using postgresql 9.1.4 with postgis 1.5.5 and have been having
problems with what looks like memory leaks. Running a query with
st_intersects in the where clause causes the memory and swap on the
server to be depleted ending up with the postgres process running the
query being killed.

 

Took me a while to find a solution but it looks like one you already
knew about, or at least I hope it is the right solution.

http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/browser/trunk/postgis/lwgeom_cache.c?rev=9
136

 

So I added the missing line to the GetGeomCache function in
lwgeom_cache.c and all appears to be working fine now.

 

My question is, if this was known about as far back as 1.5.1, why is it
not in the 1.5.5 release? Was it removed because it caused other
problems that I will come across shortly? I am hoping it should be there
and I won't end up with more problems.

 

Can anyone advise me on what happened with this bug?

 

Thanks in advance,

Darren
