Hi, linux-nfs :
in nfs-utils1.1.3, procedure "get_exportlist()" would malloc() some memory for storing the directories and groups for "showmount". obviously those memory are not released when the procedure ends. once mountd received a signal for quiting itself(eg : kill -9 `pidof mountd`), it will call "killer()" for some exiting-works. but those memory allocated in "get_exportlist()" were not released. memory leak? i am not sure. :-(

You're talking about the allocation done on this line?:
e = (struct exportnode *) xmalloc(sizeof(*e));
>From a quick glance, it looks like the code tries to free that up the
next time get_exportlist() is called, in that first loop over elist. I
haven't tried to figure out whether that code's correct, though; maybe
you have? Patches always welcome.
