[Xorp-hackers] valgrind: selector.cc: Reading free'd memory

[Bruce Simpson]

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the patch. Yes, this would work around the issue by 
pre-allocating all the storage for Selectors upfront.

I would far rather the problem is fixed at root however. If we're pushed 
for time then we may check this in as an interim fix, it does waste some 
memory, but that's better than risking heap corruption in some 
situations. Ironically, the ref_ptr template is being used to try to 
avoid premature deletion.

If you could attach this workaround patch to your Trac ticket that would 
be great.

thanks,
