Package: amule-daemon Version: 2.2.1-1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Ever since upgrading to 2.2.1-1 I have had several occurrences of OOM, after which my system became virtually unusable because of the infamous OOM_killer kicking in. Since I never had OOM's before I started to monitor the system more closely, using top en /proc/meminfo. I noticed that over time the combined memory footprint of the processes amuled and amuleweb was growing (up till 100 MB) without ever allowing the system to reclaim any. The last OOM provided me with the 'evidence' that amule-daemon was to blame: the frozen xterm output of top revealed that amuleweb had used up 86% of my 1.5 GB of physical memory! All swap space had been eaten too and all I could do was sysrq-ing out of the situation or wait forever on OOM_killer to finish up. Now that I have gone back to the stable version (2.1.3-1), amule-daemon's memory footprint remains at a constant amount of about 11 MB. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27.7 Locale: LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages amule-daemon depends on: ii amule-common 2.1.3-1 common files for the rest of aMule ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcrypto++5.2c2a 5.2.1c2a-3 General purpose cryptographic shar ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1 GCC support library ii libpng12-0 1.2.27-2 PNG library - runtime ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libwxbase2.6-0 2.6.3.2.2-3 wxBase library (runtime) - non-GUI ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages amule-daemon recommends: ii amule-utils 2.1.3-1 utilities for aMule (command-line amule-daemon suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
