From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050504 Fedora/1.0.3-4 Firefox/1.0.3 Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): iiimf-server-12.2-3 How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Log in to GNOME desktop on my rawhide-ish workstation. Actual Results: Watch memory usage steadily increase at rate of about 50MB/second I ran top, search by memory usage (before machine grinds to a halt), and iiimd is using the most memory. Kill it (as root) and memory usage drops by a huge amount: PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 4631 iiimd 16 0 448m 421m 3036 S 0.0 41.8 0:10.84 iiimd Expected Results: Moderate, constant memory usage for the process. Additional info: I can provide more information as required.
Appears to only leak memory when "No Input Method connected" appears in the floating window next to the active window. If I use GIMLET to switch to an input method, the rapid memory usage seems to stop.
What LANG is the desktop?
Does it happen if you uninstall iiimf-x and start a new X session?
FWIW I have seen with this with 12.2, iiimx and Emacs in recent rawhide.
I can now reproduce this problem after changing to "follow quickmenu" mode at gimlet. and run any X applications which is using XIM.
a patch to avoid this leaking *rapidly* was committed in CVS. it should be better in next build.
please confirm this problem with 12.2-5.
Confirm fixed with iiimf-12.2-5. Steps to reproduce from iiimf-12.2-4, 1) install iiimf-12.2-4 2) restart X 3) in g-t, start emacs
