I have a CentOS 6 installation with the following packages installed from the RPM build service from Kamailio:
kamailio-unixodbc-4.1.2-1.1.x86_64 kamailio-4.1.2-1.1.x86_64 kamailio-presence-4.1.2-1.1.x86_64 kamailio-utils-4.1.2-1.1.x86_64
I am also using db_unixodbc for all database accesses (with MySQL backend). The problem is that after a few hours, a single Kamailio process (never more than one) starts complaining that it has run out of memory:
9(11479) ERROR: uac [uac_reg.c:638]: uac_reg_tm_callback(): got sip response 408 while registering [admin_pbx.elastix.com] 9(11479) ERROR: db_unixodbc [dbase.c:335]: db_unixodbc_fetch_result(): no memory left 9(11479) ERROR: <core> [db_query.c:502]: db_fetch_next(): unable to fetch next rows 9(11479) ERROR: db_unixodbc [dbase.c:224]: db_unixodbc_free_result(): invalid parameter value 9(11479) ERROR: db_unixodbc [dbase.c:327]: db_unixodbc_fetch_result(): no private memory left 9(11479) ERROR: <core> [db_query.c:434]: db_fetch_query_internal(): unable to fetch the db result 9(11479) ERROR: presence [publish.c:108]: msg_presentity_clean(): failed to query database for expired messages 9(11479) ERROR: db_unixodbc [dbase.c:327]: db_unixodbc_fetch_result(): no private memory left 9(11479) ERROR: <core> [db_query.c:434]: db_fetch_query_internal(): unable to fetch the db result 9(11479) ERROR: presence [publish.c:108]: msg_presentity_clean(): failed to query database for expired messages 9(11479) ERROR: db_unixodbc [dbase.c:327]: db_unixodbc_fetch_result(): no private memory left 9(11479) ERROR: <core> [db_query.c:434]: db_fetch_query_internal(): unable to fetch the db result
I have attached the stderr output when I kill the offending process. From what I can see, the memory leak somehow involves database allocations that fail to be freed, consuming more than 3 MB out of 4 MB allocated:

I have the setup to compile my own RPMS, and I intend to track down the memory leak on my own. However, I would like your help in focusing my search, on whether this is a known issue, or where in db_unixodbc should I look.
