[EP-tech] IRStats and EPrints 3.3


Hi,

I have found a bug with IRStats 1.x when used with EPrints 3.3.x
There is a memory cycle in the DatabaseInterface object which means that those objects are never destroyed, and hence the object's database connection is held open indefinitely (until it times out). If enough IRStats requests are made in a short space of time this could use up all the available MySQL connections. 

This small patch fixes the issue:

Note this only applies to IRStats 1.x running under EPrints 3.3.x

Regards,

Tim
