Package: rrdtool Version: 1.2.15-0.2 Severity: important Tags: patch The recent upgrade of rrdtool from 1.2.11-0.6 to 1.2.15-0.2 introduced a bug in rrdtool that causes it to consume all memory when rendering [at least some] logarithmic graphs.
See <http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool-trac/ticket/54#comment:18> for details. The latest snapshot of rrdtool fixes this bug. [I compiled from source to verify this.] From rrdtool's author, in the above bug entry, when I asked if the given svn revisions that fix the problem were r881 and r887: > I will be releasing rrdtool 1.2.16 RSN ... the rXXXX is just the svn > revision and not something which should be packed I guess ... unless > the debian person cares to isolate the change which fixes the log > behavior. Whether cherry-picking those changes, grabbing the latest snapshot or reverting to an older version is the way to go I don't know, but the bug as it is made the systems we ran rrdtool on useless while they went into swap death. (Rendering a munin graph.)
