[ I'm not on debian-user, so please Cc me on replies ]. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
When printing any file (using lpr -Plp somefile), such as this one: -rw------- 1 bma bma 1278 Aug 21 01:01 klingon-programmer.txt and using redhat's printtool, gs consumes every drop of available memory, leaking approximately 4MB every 5 seconds. Even on my 256MB machine, it hoses the box in a short amount of time, and the machine finally begins croaking with messages like this in syslog: Oct 24 08:11:07 trantor kernel: VM: do_try_to_free_pages failed for kswapd... This problem has begun happening recently (within the past month or so), so I don't think it's gs' fault (last upload was in march or so). Versions of relevant software: ii gs 5.10-10 Postscript interpreter with X11 and svgalib ii printtool 3.53-2 Printer administration tool. ii smbclient 2.0.7-3 A LanManager like simple client for Unix. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Brian -- Brian M.
