2014-06-24 Thread Stefan Baranoff
Thanks, all! We have alloc/free counters in place but I'll enable those debug options. I'll try older releases of RHEL and get back to you. I've also eradicated pthreads in this code but also have the mempool cache size set to 0 just in case. I should mention we hold onto mbufs for a while (up to
