Hi,
I noticed this over the weekend. When using XMMS to play MP3s after 5-10
minutes the machine would hard freeze. This morning I decided to do a little
digging to see if I could find out why.
Running top in a console windows, while playing music with XMMS causes the
available memory decrease at a fairly steady rate. Pausing or stopping the
playback stops the decrease in memory. Closing XMMS recovers the memory.
Running out of memory locks up the machine.
This is with XMMS as of about a week ago, and kernel 2.4.18-23mdk.
I'm borrowing a broadband connection later today, so I may try a clean cooker
install and test it again.
V.
