not necessarily a memory leak.

Yes, I know it very well :-(

I believe I asked this question on this list some time ago and the
answer was that it sounds like missing file handles problem (or
something like that). It's true that I never ran out of free memory but
there were like 20,000 open files (lsof). But this was with our huge
application that does all sorts of weird things so I were searching for
an unclosed file. If you say that it happens with Welcome application as
well then I am lost.

So I confirm that there is a serious problem in Enhydra Multiserver -
serious for those that restart single applications.
