[Mono-list] Mono 3.2.0 Asp.NET MVC Memory Leak

[James Wright]

    I was using an old version of XSP (2.10.2) which was located on the 
mono-project downloads page, however I have since built XSP from GitHub 
Master (Aug 11), and although the memory leak seems slightly better it 
isn't really fixed.

   Something that is confusing me is the memory usage stats reported by 
"ps -AF", I'm don't think I understand how the RSS size is so much 
larger than SZ (see below)?

UID         apache
PID         15958
SZ           356709
RSS         816840
STIME    Aug11
TIME      01:06:01
CMD       /usr/bin/mono /usr/lib/mono/4.5/mod-mono-server4.exe 
--filename /tmp/mod_mono_serve....

  Is this memory usage normal, is there any easy way to help diagnose 
the leak?

Thanks,
James
