Hi Lee,
I added a "MaxMemFree" directive to "httpd.conf". Haven't had a problem
since then.
No one offered a reason why the problem suddenly appeared when I upgraded to
1.6.x.

Hi Geoff Rowell,
Thanks for the reply. I had the same problem too.
Do you have a solution to overcome this?
Regards,
Lee

when I tried to use ldap authentication on apache 2.0. The memory usage
would creep up over a period of time, and eventually I had to restart
apache
(every few days, or so, I think). I gave up on ldap and the problem went
away.

I run the CollabNet Subversion Server 1.6.5 (on W2K3 R2) with basic
authentication and authz - nothing fancy - and I'm also seeing a gradual
increase in the virtual memory size of the Apache process. I've been
restarting Apache every couple of day to control the memory size.
