Recently we have had the unexplained problem of memory loss on this list.
Probably not relevant to that occassion. I have noticed over the couple of years that where I have had both Mandrake and Windblows on the same computer a not dissimilar unexplained memory loss which I found by accident I could cure simply by rebooting to Windblows and back to mandrake. It all happens slowly, and since I boot mandrake much more often than Windblows I find that the drain to an unexplained memory loss is cumulative and gradually you find perfectly simple tasks like calculating a sum in a spreadsheet slowing down to the point that it takes for ever. I checked the memory usage situations as best I could (this was before I learned about the "top" command) but nothing unusual seems to be soaking up memory. However the problem is solved by rebooting to Windblows and back to Mandrake. I just wondered what is going on and whether it is relevant with the recent case.
