Description of problem: memory leak Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnubiff-2.2.6-1.fc6 How reproducible: very high Steps to Reproduce: 1.add gnubiff to your panel and wait 2. 3. Actual results: With running time the memory consumption of gnubiff increase lineraly with time, until the whole system is slowed down, when the memory consumption is about 10 times larger then usual. Restarting of the process resets the memory usage to the normal value. Expected results: not a linear increasing memory consumption of 1,5MB per minute Additional info: measured the memory consumption of gnubiff with pmap over a couple of minutes: #!/bin/bash echo $(date +%s) $(pmap -d 32731 |grep mapped|grep writeable|sed 's/K//g'|awk '{print $2" "$4" "$6}') >> gnub.gnu sleep 6 exec $0 after approx 1400 sec I changed the "refresh rate of the mailboxes" to a three times larger value, killed the process and restarted it. the signal reveils that this a no impact on the gradient of the memory consumption. a details view in pmap and comparison reveils that it is [anon] who needs the memory.
