Heya Jason. Long time no see. How's things?

I'm a bit late to the party here. For some reason I just got a huge
blast of emails today that didn't show up earlier, and this was one of
them.

It appears that mod_gearman is to blame here at least, or the problem
would happen even without it. Are you using the embedded perl features
of mod_gearman? If so, can you try disabling them? I know that some
versions of perl makes embedding perl leak like mad, even though the
code used to embed it is flawless in itself. That's the primary reason
we removed it entirely from Naemon.
