Hmm. This is what happens, if code is rarely used. 
I would do something like:

$_= qq(<?xml version="1.0" standalone="no" ?>
         <mrml session-id="$inSessionID">
         <delete-session  session-id="$inSessionID" >
         </mrml>);

  $self->{mSocket}->print($_);
  print "Sent: $_" if($vDEBUG{startSession}); 

This might actually work. But if I remember right, there is still a small 
memory leak for each session that is really tough to track.

Cheers,
Wolfgang
