Description of problem: I have IIIMF enabled for Japanese input, and am using Firefox 1.0.7 as a browser. Typically the IM is not active - I only turn it on when entering Japanese text. It sits on the bar as [Ja]. I only have to click on a few links in WWW pages in Firefox and suddenly the disk becomes very active and "top" shows that iiimd is rapidly growing. If I let it go it uses my whole 1Gb swap partition (currently I have a ulimit on the init.d script to kill iiimd at 256Mb). Note that it does *not* occur when entering Japanese or other text in Firefox, and it does not happen when using Japanese-capable apps such as gnome-terminal, mlterm, ebview, etc. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Firefox 1.0.7 iiimf - don't know - whatever came on the fc4 CDs. How reproducible: Happens every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1.make sure iiimd is running (I have it on my task bar - Gimlet) 2.click a few links in Firefox Actual results: See above. Expected results: Correct behaviour of iiimd Additional info:
An update. Since posting that bug, I ran up2date over my system (something I should have done before posting). I see it brought in a number of iiimf rpms. Since then the runaway swapspace problem with iiimd has not occurred again.
Comment #1: To clarify, does it mean you have never seen this problem after updating the package to the latest one?
Correct. I can no longer reproduce the problem. I suggest it be dropped, as it has probably been fixed already. Sorry.
ok, so please reopen this if you see it again. closing now.
