| Doc Text: |
Due to an error in the "threads" module, memory was leaked each time a thread was detached. Over time, this may have caused long-running threaded Perl programs to consume a significant amount of memory. With this update, a patch has been applied to ensure the allocated memory is properly freed when a thread is detached, and using threads in Perl applications no longer leads to memory leaks.
