Many thanks for the fix.  We've applied and see better memory performance.  We still have to kill and restart 
mhttpd after a few days however.  I think the official fix is missing this part:

diff --git a/src/mjsonrpc.cxx b/src/mjsonrpc.cxx
index 2201d228..38f0b99b 100644
--- a/src/mjsonrpc.cxx

    status = cm_connect_client(name.c_str(), &hconn);
 
    if (status != RPC_SUCCESS) {
+      free(buf);
       return mjsonrpc_make_result("status", MJsonNode::MakeInt(status));
    }

When the other process returns a failure the memory block is also currently leaked.  I originally stated "...although I 
don't think it contributed to the leak we were seeing" but it seems this was false.

Thanks,

Mark.
