When the resident size of multiload-applet-2 reached 1.0 GiB on a 2 GiB
memory system, all sorts of things started failing. This is on a desktop
8.10 lvm installation providing various services to other clients such
as apache, svn etc.
* hard drives where on 100% iowait (swapping) leading to frozen-soft resetting
entries in the system log
* my ssh connections became unresponsive after being idle for a few minutes
* the system could no longer be updated from repositories
* usb keyboards stopped working
dpkg -l lists that libgtop2-7 is of version 2.24.0-ubuntu2, which is the
leaking version. A fix need to be submitted to 8.10 for this problem
It seems the only reason that the whole planet does not run into this is
because they either reboot their systems often or do not have the system
monitor active as an applet
