The plot thickens... The RPC code on the GNU libc has that exact code  
also. Calling svc_unregister and/or svc_destroy before the run() ends  
has no effect.
I suspect you'll get the same results in windows if you run test- 
client thousands of times. Like you said the web servers you tried use  
a threaded approach so this codepath is not used very often.

I still haven't been able to find the correct cleanup code that deals  
with this memory consumption.
