But I'm sure that it's not as leaky as you suspect. I'm using 3.2-stable (last cvsup/make world on Aug 15) and mpg123 0.59q. I started mpg123 about 10 hours ago with the parameters -Z --reopen * in a directory with about 50 mp3s. I've started mpg123 on my account (i.e. with an uid != 0) on a normal vty (no X11). The result, according to top: PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 42397 ue -6 0 4352K 2500K dspwr 97:46 18.70% 18.70% mpg123 mpg123's memory requirements grow with the size of the mp3 file. The amount of resident memory for mpg123 will grow from approx. 500 kbyte to aprrox 75% of mpog123's total memory size while a song is played. After the end of the song, the cycle repeats. I think the memory leak is in your jukebox software... /s/Udo To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
