memory-leak in oracle module
Imported from http://bugzilla.roxen.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3793

we have watched a memory-leak in Pike v7.4 release 139 with Roxen WebServer 4.0.141 most likly residing in oracle module's C code.
after retrieving about 800 pages in three parallel recursive wgets for 2 hours from a website with an oracle db memory demand grew up to 550 MB (and was then manually stopped, because it would have grown even more).
"Pike memory usage information" showed that pike's memory demand has been more or less constant so we are assuming that growing memory demand is coming from c-code.
this growing memory demand has not been seen with websites using mysql instead of oracle.
