Greetings:
I've been observing a 'minor' problem with V1.1.7 of SeaMonkey for
SPARC for Solaris 9 for some time now. I *know* this is hoary old
version, but it IS the latest one I have available. I WAS going to
'make' a new one based on the compile settings kindly provided by the
Sun Beijing office, but they did not survive a disk crash, (and I did
not have that backed up...) And I have not been able to find them
again. So I need some help. Please.
To wit: It appears that there is a bit of memory leaking - at least,
that is what I THINK you call it when a process takes memory and never
gives it back.
I have noticed that SeaMonkey STARTS out with about 36+MB and finally
'opens a window' when memory usage gets to about 53.8M, RES 42.7M...
Here is a recent extract from 'top' - with notes on how many windows
are open:
24232 ghicks 7 59 0 54.4M 43.2M sleep 0:52 0 22.46% seamonkey-bin
(restarted Seamonkey - 1 browser window open 21:13)
24232 ghicks 5 59 0 80.9M 70.3M sleep 4:46 0 11.30% seamonkey-bin

One window open 1145 - Note that no memory has been given back...
28620 ghicks 5 59 0 235M 221M sleep 75:42 0 0.49% seamonkey-bin
Seamonkey 'died', no core dump. 1450
Anyway, if someone could point me to the flags, options, et al, I'll
try recompiling (I *do* have the Sun compiler available as well as a
late model gcc...)
But has anyone else noticed the above?
Oh yes, I'm running Solaris 9 w/Current patches on an Ultra-167 with
512MB memory. I really don't have anything newer up just yet.
Assist (or pointers) appreciated.
Regards,
Gregory Hicks
