Bug#343698: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#343698: xfce4-cpufreq-plugin: Causes xfce4-panel to eat an always increasing amount of RAM

Hi I just monitored the plugin for about 18 hours and memory usage stayed at 1.8 the whole time so I cannot reproduce this issue (on i386). Are you sure it's the cpufreq plugin? Can anyone using an amd64 system reproduce this? -- Stefan Ott http://www.desire.ch/ signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hi I just monitored the plugin for about 18 hours and memory usage stayed at 1.8 the whole time so I cannot reproduce this issue (on i386). Are you sure it's the cpufreq plugin? Can anyone using an amd64 system reproduce this? It seems it's NOT reproducible either on i386 or on ppc (Emanuele Rocca and Yves-Alexis Perez checked). Other than that I know of no ways to check that this problem is actually caused by cpufreq plugin. All I can say is that if I add it the memory keeps growing, and if I remove it then it stops. The problem could be elsewhere, but it doesn't happen with other plugins. Hence I think it's a cpufreq plugin issue. If you know of any way I could run it in valgrind or something like that please inform me :) All the best, Roberto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
