The mcpd memory steadily increases until it runs out. Running "strings" on the resulting core file reveals many instances of a monitor error message.
Slow system performance, unexpected crash and failover.
Must have a monitor configured that generates an error message.
Disable the monitor.
Previously, mcpd might leak memory when returning an error message that contained the reason for a monitor failure. The message now reports the reason without leaking memory.
