Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: conky
I am running Conky in 7.10 and it is leaking memory at a relatively fast
rate. Within a few hours its taking up close to a gigabyte. I left it
run while away for 24 hours and crashed sometime while I was gone. I am
not sure what is causing this, but I haven't found any major refrences
to this being a known bug on here or with google.
Here is my .conkyrc file:

# sysname System name, Linux for example
# time (format) Local time, see man strftime to get more
# information about format
# totaldown net Total download, overflows at 4 GB on
# Linux with 32-bit arch and there doesn't
# seem to be a way to know how many times
# it has already done that before torsmo
# has started.

Some further background information.... I am running Ubuntu 7.10 64 Bit. I am
using KDE with compiz-fusion running and emerald as my WM. My system is a Intel
Q6600 CPU on an Intel P35 chipset. I have 4GB of ram, relatively generic
branding on it.
I am not sure what other information is required but I will be more than
happy to provide it for you. Please let me know what you need.
