Created attachment 217937 [details] Patch to fix memory leaks The openmdns daemon leaks memory in various expected paths. The patch against the version of the code currently distributed in ports is attached. I'd note, however, that the port appears to have been abandoned by its original author -- I have submitted a pull request for one other logging issue, and this patch as a comment on a bug report in his github repo and have received no response.
Wrong take

I should note that the original author of this code did finally make the leak fix (plus one I missed) at https://github.com/haesbaert/mdnsd/commit/e8dc3ce0d2d42d4487a1d7ed48249a5338ea5cff -- but the code doesn't appear to have been released (at least not in the github sense) since the 0.7 release of 10-Mar-2017 -- don't know about the OpenBSD status.

(In reply to commit-hook from comment #4) Thanks Alexy!
(In reply to Nick Briggs from comment #5) No problem. If you'd updated the PR with a link to that Mayish commit earlier, we could avoid doing second commit. :-) Just want to confirm something: you said "plus one I missed", but comparing the patches, there were two missing hunks. Is your counting off or mine?
(In reply to Alexey Dokuchaev from comment #6) TBH, I'd forgotten that I'd reported the problem here. I had hoped that Haesbert would tag and release a new version of the code to the OpenBSD folks, which would then flow through to here. Haesbert found 1 additional place that I had missed in my pull-request. My pull-request to him had one additional fix beyond what I had proposed patching in this problem report -- so both 1 and 2 are correct counts depending on what base you're starting from. I think you've got everything now. Thanks.
