I recently upgraded to use delayed_job 3.0 gem and I am facing this issue of memory leak. Even if I dont start delayed job, my rails app takes on entire memory of 2GB and ultimately crashes.

The moment I downgrade to 2.1.4, the rails app behaves normally. Is this something related to delayed_job or could it also be my rails app? (remember, i dont even need to start delayed_job to eat up all the memory using the 3.0 gem)

My environment:

Rails 3.1
ruby 1.9.2p290 (2011-07-09 revision 32553) [i686-linux]
Delayed_job 3.0.0
Daemons 1.0.10
delayed_job_active_record (0.3.1)

How should I go debugging the problem? Any idea?
