Bug 704541

Description of problem:
Any run of qpid-config tool causes a small memory consumption increase of qpidd process.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
MRG(M) 1.3

How reproducible:
Every time running reproduction steps.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start qpidd service with any configuration (i.e. default qpidd.conf).
2. Run in a loop qpid-config with any argument(s). Some examples are below.
3. Monitor qpidd process (physical) memory usage - it will slowly grow.

Actual results:
Examples to step 2:
(*) for i in $(seq 1 100); do qpid-config; sleep 5; done
(*) for i in $(seq 1 100); do qpid-config queues; sleep 5; done
(*) for i in $(seq 1 100); do qpid-config queues -b; sleep 5; done
(*) for i in $(seq 1 100); do qpid-config exchanges; sleep 5; done
(*) for i in $(seq 1 100); do qpid-config exchanges -b; sleep 5; done
(*) for i in $(seq 1 50); do qpid-config add queue some_name; sleep 5; qpid-config del queue some_name; sleep 5; done
(*) for i in $(seq 1 50); do qpid-config add exchange topic some_name; sleep 5; qpid-config del exchange some_name; sleep 5; done

In all such cases, the 100 runs of qpid-config tool increased memory usage by approx. 1MB, i.e. 1 run of the tool consumes around 10kB.


Expected results:
No memory consumption grow should occur. As e.g. qpid-config tool can be used to regularly monitoring of QPid status, memory consumption would be steadily growing forever.
