Package: xfce4-sensors-plugin Followup-For: Bug #440858 I started three instances of xfce-sensors-plugin on Feb 5, 2008. This is what top says currently: 2677 xsdg 15 0 184m 85m 2304 S 0 1.1 0:01.11 xfce4-sensors-p 2678 xsdg 16 0 521m 422m 2192 S 0 5.3 0:04.20 xfce4-sensors-p 2679 xsdg 15 0 511m 409m 2240 S 0 5.1 0:06.35 xfce4-sensors-p
The first has been idle (displaying "Sensors"), whereas the second two have been showing three measurements each (one of them updating every minute, the other every 10 seconds). Notably, I find the following in /proc/2678/smaps: 0060b000-1a986000 rw-p 0060b000 00:00 0 [heap] Size: 429548 kB Rss: 429472 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 429472 kB Referenced: 429472 kB The identical section for 2677 is: 0060b000-05a6f000 rw-p 0060b000 00:00 0 [heap] Size: 86416 kB Rss: 86348 kB Shared_Clean: 0 kB Shared_Dirty: 0 kB Private_Clean: 0 kB Private_Dirty: 86348 kB Referenced: 86348 kB This clearly suggests that pointers are being malloc()ed that aren't being free()d. Also, in case it's useful, here's an excerpt from /proc/2788/status: VmPeak: 533860 kB VmSize: 533856 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmHWM: 433736 kB VmRSS: 432456 kB VmData: 429704 kB VmStk: 88 kB VmExe: 44 kB VmLib: 12180 kB VmPTE: 1052 kB This was against xfce4-sensors-plugin 0.10.99.2-1, though since nothing appears in the changelog about this leak, I presume it still exists in the latest packaged version. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22.9 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xfce4-sensors-plugin depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.5.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.1-4 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.3-2 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.4-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.24-1 PNG library - runtime ii libsensors4 1:3.0.0-4 library to read temperature/voltag ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxfce4util4 4.4.2-1 Utility functions library for Xfce ii libxfcegui4-4 4.4.2-1 Basic GUI C functions for Xfce4 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xfce4-panel 4.4.2-1 The Xfce4 desktop environment pane ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-8 compression library - runtime Versions of packages xfce4-sensors-plugin recommends: ii hddtemp 0.3-beta15-37 Utility to monitor the temperature ii lm-sensors 1:3.0.0-4 utilities to read temperature/volt -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
