Package: hardware-monitor Version: 1.4-1 Severity: normal Hi,
Yesterday in the morning, I found my computer very unresponsive, with the CPU fan in full-swing. It was barely usable, it didn't seem to react to any key stroke or mouse activity. I tried to log in via ssh from another computer, but I ran out of patience after waiting 5 minutes for the password prompt to appear. At one point, the X server shut, as a consequence of me having pressed CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE minutes earlier, and everything went back to normal. Today, it happened again. This time I managed to switch to a VT and run top, find the offending process and kill it. What I've seen is that hardware-monitor was using a ridiculously large amount of memory, to the extent that practically all memory in the system (some 5,5 GB, including swap) was being used.
