the normal scenario is i leave my computer running at night and then i come down in the morning and find applications (usually the big boys, evolution, opera) to be gone. i check top and find i have roughly 4M of memory left (no swap is left). i reboot and start over. sometimes i will be using the computer and things will be killed (opera, evolution, nautilus). sometimes i have been running things from a virtual console and the oom messages are displayed telling me which programs are killed. note: i dont think the leak is in the normal applications as mentioned in previous email, something seems to be gobling up memory even before i log in to an x environment. this has been happening for about a month now. it was a little difficult to pinpoint when because i would shutdown everyday traveling to school. now that i am home more often it is evident. i am running unstable. yikes! no not yikes, this is the first _serious_ problem i have run into, and my guess is other people running unstable dont have this problem, so i dont blame unstable. but i am not experienced enough to debug this one on my own except every other day updating my apt-cache and upgrading my packages with fingers crossed hoping that my memory leak goes away. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
