From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) Description of problem: glms_applet leaks memory continuously as it runs. After a few days, it's using more memory than the font server, xfs. Killing and restarting it makes the used memory for glms_applet reasonable again. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start glms_applet 2. wait around Actual Results: glms_applet leaks memory Expected Results: glms_applet memory usage should remain basically constant. Additional info: According to rpm -q --requires glms: audiofile-0.2.1-ximian.2 compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2 db1-1.85-5 esound-0.2.22-ximian.3 glib-1.2.10-ximian.2 glibc-2.2.2-10 gnome-core-1.4.0.4-ximian.1 gnome-libs-1.2.13-ximian.10 gnome-libs-devel-1.2.13-ximian.10 gtk+-1.2.10-ximian.10 imlib-1.9.10-ximian.2 lm_sensors-2.5.5-3 ORBit-0.5.8-ximian.2 XFree86-libs-4.0.3-5 zlib-1.1.3-22
It's very hard to tell where this program leaks memory, so it might take some time to get fixed. As a workaround you could set up a nightly cronjob to restart it... Not a good solution, i know, but a working one. Read ya, Phil
