Despite the lack of details in the original post. I'm seeing extended sessions of Growl updates causing GrowlHelperApp to keep thousands of Mach ports active. (See "# ports" in Activity Monitor). At the moment I have MacIrssi and GrowlHelperApp taking up ~1.5k Mach ports together (each end of the Mach port is counted in both apps).
In my Growl code in MacIrssi I'm only doing the following, it also didn't happen in the previous version of Growl. So I am starting to suspect its a bug in the new version. [GrowlApplicationBridge notifyWithTitle:title description:description notificationName:[self eventNameForCode:[notification name]] iconData:icon priority:0 isSticky:stick clickContext:context]; Using too many Mach ports will cause headaches in other apps, I've seen Terminal and Mail both spontaneously quit when the system runs out of space to allocate new ports. Though I doubt you're using them directly, if you use something like DO for communications, not releasing the objects at your end could definitely cause this. Furthermore, quitting Growl (and not MacIrssi) causes all the Mach ports to close. A pretty normal sign that they're being held open on Growls side.
