Hello, Alexander, AS> I'am running -current (dated 08/17) on a PPro/200, Gigabyte MB, 128 M. AS> Ok, what happened ? AS> While I was playing with the KDE newsreader (krn), I encountered a bug AS> in krn, probably caused by some kind of infinite recursion or similar. AS> Fact is, while krn tried to "thread" a group, it started to eat memory AS> like crazy. After a while, I noticed quite a bit swapping. I checked AS> ps, and found out that krn has allocated more than 160 MB (!!) of RAM AS> (I have 128 physical, about 100 MB swap). I assume, that the overall AS> memory consumtion of the system must have been somewhere around 200 MB AS> at this time. I was running X, full KDE desktop; a Netscape session and AS> a copy of gimp were active on another desktop aswell). However, I AS> managed to kill -9 the crazy krn app, and everything seemed to be ok. AS> The only message I found in the log is: AS> Aug 24 01:53:05 darkstar /kernel: swap_pager: suggest more swap space: 254 MB AS> Next time, I tried to connect to my local newsserver (nntpd, handled by AS> inetd), I got an error. I telnet'ed to port 119 and got something like AS> "realloc() junk pointer, too low" as an error message from inetd. AS> I had to kill and restart inetd to restore normal operation. AS> What the hell happened to inetd ? AS> BTW: no other problems occured so far; system is still up and running. I am following KDE mailing lists. There was a mention of a memory leak in KDE, confirmed (as fat as I understood) by the programmers.
