Package: courier-imap Version: 3.0.8-13 Severity: normal I have a strong suspicion that courier-imap is the cause of massive fam memory leakage on my system. I use courier-imap to manage several huge IMAP folders on my system (Linux Kernel mailing list, tens of thousands of messages present at any time), connecting using a Mozilla Thunderbird client. Every now and then I notice that my system gets _really_ slow, and then it turns out that famd is using 1.7 GB of memory, using up all available swap. I can restart it, and it will be small again, but then it starts growing again over time. The only frequent fam user on this system is courier-imap, the system is a server machine so it doesn't usually have any fam connections from desktop programs etc. There are only two connecting users (it's a home server), so I'm pretty sure the problem is connected to my own mail workload.
Unfortunately this problem is a bit hard for me to isolate (I don't have a spare machine to create an isolated test case), but I wanted to report it anyway, just in case someone recognizes the problem and knows a way to fix it. I'll try to find a small way to reproduce it at some point, I'm a bit busy right now so it might be a while. :-/ Cheers, Bart -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (700, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (400, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.14.2media Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages courier-imap depends on: ii courier-authdaemon 0.47-13 Courier Mail Server - Authenticati ii courier-base 0.47-13 Courier Mail Server - Base system ii exim4 4.60-4 metapackage to ease exim MTA (v4) ii exim4-daemon-light [mail-tran 4.60-4 lightweight exim MTA (v4) daemon ii libc6 2.3.6-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0 2.7.0-9 Client library to control the FAM ii libgdbm3 1.8.3-2 GNU dbm database routines (runtime courier-imap recommends no packages. -- debconf information: courier-imap/moveconfig: true -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
