<Myon> ibid: is that a bug that grep-dctrl eats that much memory?
<ibid> Myon: depends on how you are using it, but probably, yeah
<Myon> grep = os.popen("zcat
/org/qa.debian.org/data/ftp/ftp/{stable,testing,sid,experimental}/*/binary-*/Packages.gz
| grep-dctrl -sPackage -sDescription -dn .")
<Myon> on merkel, i.e. Sarge/ia64
<ibid> how big is the stream that zcat creates?
<Myon> 488MB
<Myon> ibid: the process grows to >500M, so it sounds like it stores the whole
input in memory
