From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2a) Gecko/20020910 Description of problem: If you start a new gnome-session in a vncserver session, and uses the default terminal in Gnome (gnome-terminal), it will "leak memory" quite quick if the terminal is being used. A simple test is to just have the terminal run the command: "top", and watch how it increases in memory usage untill it finally crashes. I'm running the default vncserver that is in the RedHat 8.0 release (version: 3.3.3r2-39) and have also tested the new 3.3.4 release with the same results. On the other end of the vnc session, I'm running vncviewer v.3.3.3r9 on a machine running WindowsXP(Service pack 1). I have also tested it whith the new vncviewer v.3.3.4 - same result. What is funny about this, is that this behavior is only observed with the gnome-terminal running in a vncsession. Other terminals, like xterm, konsole etc. are working flawlessly. I have tested this with two different installations with the same result. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start a gnome-session in a vncserver 2. Connect to vncsession by using a vncviewer from a Windows box 3. Open a gnome-terminal 4. Run: "top" 5. Watch the memory usage for the process "gnome-terminal" grow.... Additional info:
