The situation appears unresolved; c.f. `top' output on hydra-guix-129: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- 62775 nar-her+ 20 0 903.7g 93.9g 0.0 49.8 22,44 S `- fibers 0 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- It's gobbled up half of the memory of the machine so far, and will probably keep growing slowly. Perhaps the machine should be reconfigured & rebooted, as its generation appears to be from Nov 23. It's been up for 41 days. -- Thanks, Maxim
