Description daryl herzmann 2011-06-30 13:00:57 UTC

Hi,

I've noticed that console-kit-daemon has a huge VSZ memory allocation on RHEL6.  Searching around, I find this exact issue reported against Fedora.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473547

figured I would file it against RHEL6 as well.

thanks!

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

Can this be closed as invalid or something?  In RHEL6.4 it is:

On RHEL-6.7 ConsoleKit has around 3MB of resident memory. This is perfectly reasonable.
