Hello,

I found that some of my perl programs using DBD::Oracle are leaking. It
seems to be similar to:
http://www.mail-archive.com/dbi-users@perl.org/msg19296.html

So far I found that:
* it's leaking on PC and also solaris
* DBD::Oracle-1.13 and 1.14 seems to be affected, 1.12 is ok (on both PC
  and solaris)
* it seems to be leaking when DBD::Oracle is linked against OCI 9x,
  with OCI 8x it seems to be fine.

I'm using DBI-1.39, perl 5.8.0 and 5.6.x

I looked briefly to what changed in sources between 1.12 and 1.13 but
found nothing interesting.

So to stop leaking I downgraded to 1.12 everywhere. I won't be much more
usefull than reporting this probably, but I will be happy to test
patches (if there will be any).
