RE: (PM) PM2 ISDN memory leak? (3.7, 3.7.2, 3.7.2c4)

Yep, I have the same problem with PM2s and OR-Us running 3.7x; was reported
to Lucent/Livingston by multiple people from this list, but nothing gets
done to fix it.

My suggestions are to use ComOS 3.5 - it doesn't fail as much and to put
more RAM into the PM since that causes it to require rebooting less often.

Greetings.

When I reboot a PM2i that has worked flawlessly for several years, I see
this:

isdn2> sho mem
System memory 1048576 bytes - 895172 used, 153404 available
144:1 96:0 128:0 80:5 272:2 16:9 32:5 48:1
System nbufs 1400 - 84 used, 1316 available

...however, after a few short hours, I get to this:

isdn2> sho mem
System memory 1048576 bytes - 1048440 used, 136 available
2048:4 160:6 1152:0 640:0 176:0 144:5 96:3 128:4 80:620 272:4 16:57 32:0
48:6
System nbufs 1400 - 83 used, 1317 available

...and as a result, new calls can't come in, routing gets crazy, packet
delay & loss goes through the roof, etc. The only way to fix this is to
reboot the unit. I've tried various ComOS 3.7 revs and nothing changes.

I suspect strongly that this coincides with the fact that three of my BRIs
are having some kind of problem whereas they show NO-SERVICE but otherwise
looks normal:

--------------------- Current Status - ISDN Port S12
------------------------
Status: NO-SERVICE
Input: 0 Abort Errors: 0
Output: 0 CRC Errors: 0
Pending: 0 Overrun Errors: 0
TX Errors: 0 Frame Errors: 0
Modem Status: DCD- CTS+ TELCO+ NT1+ Disconnect:

Is this a known problem? Has anyone experienced anything like this? I have
physically REPLACED the PM2i and the problem persists, making me believe
this has to be some kind of a memory leak in ComOS...?

Thanks for any advice you can provide.
