I tried removing libass in order to see what other packages would be removed. Synaptic says that removing libass would also remove VLC but not mplayer.
Since this memory leak is not present in VLC, I think that we can't blame libass. Maybe mplayer uses it's own internal version of libass that is problematic. -- mplayer uses enormous ammount of memory when ASS fonts are displayed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/656590 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
