auditd 1.7.11 memory leak

Hi,
I noticed huge memory leak in auditd. If it's configured to NOT log any messages (log_format = NOLOG), thus logging only via audisp plugins, its memory consumption starts to grow. Running kernel compilations on system logging few system calls causes auditd memory usage to grow over fer hundreds of MB in matter of tens of seconds...
I can provide more information if needed...
regards
nik

This was fixed in svn a couple days ago:

https://fedorahosted.org/audit/changeset/252

I will be releasing a new package sometime soon.

Thanks,

ouch, my bad, I should have checked latest trunk before reporting :( anyways, I tried applying 252 changeset on top of 1.7.1 and now it works like a charm! thanks a lot
