Re: Memory leaks from greenthreads

 

Now I had no luck trying to reproduce problem that appeared with
db_pool. Maybe it's gone?
Who can walk me through the way to that bug? I think, we should fix it
if it's not fixed already, bring back db_pool and then eventlet will
be all good again, am I right?

Kind regards, Yuriy.
