Hi Mike,
actually it is a matter of configuration. You can restrict how many
contacts a user can register (see registrar module, max_contacts
parameter).
Also, starting with 1.2.0, openser has a new design for reloading the
contacts at startup - this prevents memory exhaustion (whatever number
of contacts you have) and avoid server unavailability because of reload.
regards,
bogdan

All,
Shouldn't this be considered a security issue? For instance, all I would have
to do is carefully craft a sip message, and then the sip server would fail to
start up again when restarted. This is even more severe if it is causing the
server to run out of memory.

I am seeing quite a few of these memory errors in
the openser log
file: *build_contact():
No memory left*. These seem to be occurring when the UA tries to register
with Openser. In the last instance I saw, this lasted almost half an hour
before clearing up.
So I guess what I am trying to find out really is:
1. Is this related to the Private memory size issue I remember reading
about a while ago? I am using Openser 1.0.1 and so far have not messed
with the default memory size settings from the sources I downloaded.
A colleague of mine thought the same when we encountered some problems with
our OpenSER machines when we wanted to restart OpenSER. What it turned out
to be was some buggy UA registering broken Contacts that "work", but when
trying to restart OpenSER can't load them from the database. Deleting all
records from the location table and then trying to start will work.
