Memory leak with ldirectord 1.88 on fedora core 1

[Jonathan Trott <jtrott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

We have had ldirectord 1.88 running on our Fedora Core 1 cluster for a few 
months now with occasional crashes of the active server. I have tracked 
this down to a memory leak, probably in perl, that is causing ldirectord 
to take up more and more memory on the machine until it runs out and 
starts killing processes.
For example, after 8 days uptime ldirectord was consuming 487MB of RAM 
until I rebooted it this morning.
Does anyone have any idea where I should start looking to patch perl to 
fix this problem?
Perl is 5.8.3 that comes with Fedora Core 1. I have already checked CPAN 
for updates to Net::SSLeay as that has come up before with leakages and 
the version that is installed (1.26) is much newer than the version that 
had a memory leak (1.20 or 1.21). For completeness, this is my 
ldirectord.cf:
