Subject: dhcpd-2.2.x has a memory leak?
Cc: sacrificial-spam-address@horizon.com
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: dhcp
Version: 2.0pl5-5

I was looking at top for another reason and noticed:
  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
  351 root       9   0 10912   44    44 S     0.0  0.0   0:08 dhcpd-2.2.x

That seems to be a somewhat excessive memory consumption given that this
is a quiet home network and there are only two entries in dhcpd.leases,
both expired.

cat /proc/351/maps produces:

(I'm tracking unstable, and libc has been upgraded recently.  Uptime 18 days.)

I've left the process running in case someone wants me to debug it, but I'll
eventually restart the daemon to clean out the swap space.
