Description Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-06-13 20:39:47 UTC
Description of problem:
I left virt-manager monitoring one running machine for about two days and it run up to 1772MB virtual, 504MB RSS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.10.0-0.5.gitde1695b2.fc19.noarch
python-2.7.5-1.fc19.x86_64
pygtk2-2.24.0-7.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
Haven't noticed this before, but I usually don't leave virt-manager running for long.

Additional info:

...

I don't know what those 32 and 48 byte chunks are, but there's lots of them. Unfortunately gdb-heap isn't fully working.

I'll keep this virt-manager instance around for now, so ping me if I can provide additional info.

Thanks for the offer, it's easily reproducible for me so feel free to kill your virt-manager instance before it engulfs your machine :)
