I don't think what you are seeing is leaks but memory fragmentation. libc after sarge got really bad with the workload Tor put on its malloc. Do you want to give the current alpha version a try and let me know if it helps? IIRC it reduced memory usage quite some. My packages are in experimental if you are running sid, or you can use the backports I put up on mirror.noreply.org as described on https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorOnDebian (You want one of the -experimental repositories) -- | .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** Peter Palfrader | : :' : The universal http://www.palfrader.org/ | `. `' Operating System | `- http://www.debian.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
