Memory Leak was: Re: Update on the Emacs release schedule? 8 messages |

I'm running Emacs 24 on three machines, and am seeing leaks on
one of them -- Details below.
Home: Ubuntu Jaunty x86_32 quad-core -- No Leak
Laptop: Intel x86_64 dual core Ubuntu Lucid -- No Leak
Work: amd_64 16-core HP workstation Ubuntu Lucid -- Leak!
I know other Emacs hackers at work who are running the identical
Lucid build on 64-bit machines -- but not on the 16-core HP
workstation who are not seeing the leak.
I've tried building with and without gnutls -- no difference.
Symptoms of the leak:
The office workstation has 12gb of RAM and 36GB swap.
Before starting Emacs: `free' shows 2gb in use.
Start Emacs 24 -- with just emacspeak loaded -- no immediate
signs of a leak -- `free' shows abut 6gb in use -- which does
seem a lot.
M-x shell in that emacs
and wait for a couple of minutes.
Running `free' on a separate terminal shows that all 12GB of
memory in use -- emacs RSS is at 10GB.
If you dont kill the runnning emacs-24 at that point, it brings
the workstation to its knees and the machine stops responding and
needs to be rebooted.
