Product: rpmdrake
Component: rpmdrake
Summary: rpmdrake causes X memory leak
Version: 2.1-2mdk
Platform: PC
OS/Version: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P2
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Problem:
X starts to eat up memory when rpmdrake has been running for a long time (3+
hours). The first time I noticed it, I left rpmdrake running overnight, and
came back to this error on the console:
rpmdrake: Fatal IO error 2 (Cannot allocate memory) on X server :0.0.
A ps from a separate test shows:
root 7308 0.5 80.6 286932 207028 ? R 11:56 2:44 /etc/X11/X :0
-deferglyphs 16 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth vt8
This may be a general perl-GTK2 problem, but I haven't tested with other *drake
programs yet.
Details of how I reproduce:
(using a fluxbox session from gdm)
1 Start rpmdrake from an Eterm window. Leave it running (ie you don't have to
do anything to cause the leak)
2 Do an occasional ps to see how much memory X is taking up.
