### Description
We are using Kamailio 5.7.4 on Debian 12 (from
http://deb.kamailio.org/kamailio57) with
rtpengine as an Edgeproxy for our clients. The instance terminates SIP/TLS (with
Cliencertificates) and forwards the SIP Traffic to internal systems.
After some days we are getting errors like this
`tls_complete_init(): tls: ssl bug #1491 workaround: not enough memory for safe operation:
shm=7318616 threshold1=8912896`
First we thought Kamailio just doesnt have enough memory, so we doubled it..
But after some days the Logmessage (and Userissues) occured again.
So we monitored the shmmem statistics and found that used and max_used are constantly
growing til it reaches the limit.
As i mentioned we are using client-certificates and so we are also using the CRL feature.
We do have a systemd-timer which fetches the CRL every hour and runs 'kamcmd
tls.reload' when finished.
Our tls.cfg looks like this:
```
[server:default]
method = TLSv1.2+
private_key = /etc/letsencrypt/live/hostname.de/privkey.pem
certificate = /etc/letsencrypt/live/hostname.de/fullchain.pem
ca_list = /etc/kamailio/ca_list.pem
ca_path = /etc/kamailio/ca_list.pem
crl = /etc/kamailio/combined.crl.pem
verify_certificate = yes
require_certificate = yes
[client:default]
verify_certificate = yes
require_certificate = yes
```
After testing a bit we found that every time tls.reload is executed Kamailio consumes a
bit more memory which eventually leads to all the memory being consumed which leads to
issues for our users.
See following example:
```
[0][root@edgar-dev:~]# while true ; do /usr/sbin/kamcmd tls.reload ; /usr/sbin/kamcmd
core.shmmem ; sleep 1 ; done
Ok. TLS configuration reloaded.

### Troubleshooting
#### Reproduction
Everytime tls.reload is called the memory consumptions grows..
#### Debugging Data
<!--
If you got a core dump, use gdb to extract troubleshooting data - full backtrace,
local variables and the list of the code at the issue location.
gdb /path/to/kamailio /path/to/corefile
bt full
info locals
list
If you are familiar with gdb, feel free to attach more of what you consider to
be relevant.
-->
```
If you let me know what would be interesting for tracking this down, i am happy to provide
logs/debugging data!
```
#### Log Messages
<!--
Check the syslog file and if there are relevant log messages printed by Kamailio, add them
next, or attach to issue, or provide a link to download them (e.g., to a pastebin site).

#### SIP Traffic
SIP doesnt seem to be relevant here
### Possible Solutions
Calling tls.reload less often or restart kamailio before memory is consumed ;)
