Description of problem:
If an Apache Web Server resource has its _Enable augeas support_ connection setting set to _yes_, the agent's memory footprint continues to grow:

Eventually, the process is terminated by the kernel due to its excessive use of memory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
EWS 2.0.1 + EWS Plug-in Pack for JBoss ON 3.2

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install and start JBoss EWS 2.0.1 HTTPD for RHEL 6 x86_64.
2.  Install and start JBoss ON 3.2 system.
3.  Import _Apache HTTP Server_ into inventory.
4.  From the imported _Apache HTTP Server's_ connection settings page, _Enable augeas support_ to _Yes_.
5.  From platform resource, invoke the _manual discovery_ operation to repeat every 30 seconds for indefinitely.
6.  Monitor the VSZ and RSS memory usage of the JBoss ON agent JVM over time:

        while true; do date; ps u -p $(ps -ef | grep AgentMain | grep java | awk '{print $2}'); sleep 60s; done

Actual results:
Every minute, RSS and VSZ memory increase. Depending on total available memory on the machine, the process may eventually be killed and the following will be reported in /var/log/messages:

    Jul 25 23:38:48 vm204 kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 2615 (java) score 614 
or sacrifice child
    Jul 25 23:38:48 vm204 kernel: Killed process 2615, UID 502, (java) total-vm:4244
484kB, anon-rss:2458372kB, file-rss:2588kB

Expected results:
No memory growth and process doesn't get terminated.

Some memory growth is expected on first couple of executions of service discovery but it should be stable and VSZ should not grow.

Additional info:
This issue is related to service discovery on the Apache Web Server resource. If you disable the use of Augeas for the said httpd resource, memory is stable. Additionally, if you enable it and disable service discovery, memory is stable. Server discovery DOES NOT cause the memory growth. 

In my test instance, I am using the default configuration from EWS HTTPD (httpd.conf).

It isn't clear if it is the Directory resource type or the IfModule resource type or both of them that is causing this issue.
