Bug#378546: axel-kapt: uses all available memory, crashes, brings system to a crawl
On 09/04/07 22:50 +0200, Andr??s Hamann said ... I've noticed what you said about the newly created terminal not showing the output and fixed it (see attached file). Also, I think that if there was a space in local destination's path, it wouldn't have worked properly, at least now I'm sure it does. I'll close this bug with the next upload, but I filed your patch in the upstream tracker and will include it in the next upstream axel release.

Bug#378546: axel-kapt: uses all available memory, crashes, brings system to a crawl
Hello,
Sorry for the delay,
I wrote this in a file called prova-axel-kaptain with execute
permissions:
#!/bin/bash
echo Starting axel-kapt
axel-kapt
echo axel-kapt started
while [ $(free -m | awk '/Mem/ {print $4}') -gt 500 ]; do
sleep 0.5
done
if $(killall kaptain); then
echo axel-kapt has been killed
fi
exit 0
then I just executed free -m to show you guys memory's initial state and
right after that ./prova-axel-kaptain with this output:

helpstr - Axel is a program that downloads a file from a FTP or HTTP
server through multiple connection, each connection downloads its own
part of the file. Read the manual page - axel(1) for various options;

reportbug);

4314 Terminated | kaptain
Then I ran time with it, and it gave me this results:
real0m7.475s
user0m3.980s
sys 0m1.596s
Meaning that probably in just a few seconds, it'd crash the machine
I don't know if the Desktokp Environment is relevant but I use xfce,
however I've tried this with the same results under Gnome and KDE.
I hope this helps. If there is any additional info I can provide, let me
know.

Exact same problem here, Running Debian Squeeze GNU/Linux with kernel 2.6.26-1-amd64 When I execute axel-kapt the system starts with 700 Mb used and in a matter of two or three seconds it gets up to 1550Mb (It crashed the system once, but now I just interrupt it before it literally eats all of the resources). It happens every time I execute axel-kapt so I guess it is reproducible. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
