Package: atop
Version: 1.23-1
Severity: normal
Atop sometimes consumes huge amounts of memory, apparently triggered by
tiger's check_system script and usually ending in an oom on my system (amd64
with 1GB ram) and since atop runs by default with nice -20, the oomkiller
usually kills off a bunch of xterms before finally deciding to kill atop.
I suspect that it was also causing occasional ooms when I had 2gigs in my
system, but haven't verified it.
I don't know yet what exactly is going on, but I think that tiger is creating
large amounts of accounting information and atop is periodically trying to
process all accounting information into some much larger in-memory
representation at once.
I've seen atop passing 800 megs in RSS when this happens, and trying to
trigger it deliberately atop swelled to over 600 megs and then shrunk back to
normal size. The time it hit 600, /tmp/atop.d/atop.acct was over 60megs.
