[OpenSIPS-Devel] How to allocate and reliable free memory?

[Vlad Paiu]

Hello,

This is not correct.

Indeed, the child init functions are run by each process ( almost every 
processes ), after fork.
But the destroy function is called only once, at shutdown. Only the 
attendent process is running the destroy function, after all the other 
children have been shutdown.
