I think I might have found one of the causes of memory leaking in bbkeys, but unfortunately, I simply do not have the time to track it down and fix it. (I would like to have a little chat with whoever came up with the idea of "exams".)
Here is the initial memory usage of bbkeys: VmSize: 3496 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 1888 kB VmData: 708 kB VmStk: 24 kB VmExe: 96 kB VmLib: 2508 kB Now I open a couple dozen terminals. After this, memory usually is, as expected, identical. Now, I do a window cycle with the menu. It creates a big list and, as expected memory usage jumps: VmSize: 3796 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmRSS: 2148 kB VmData: 1008 kB VmStk: 24 kB VmExe: 96 kB VmLib: 2508 kB Not by much, but significantly. Now I kill all those windows. Now cycling again, memory usage remains the same, or sometimes slightly decreases, but never back to, what I think is the expected, initial level. If I repeat this process several times, I can get bbkeys to take up much, much more memory than it really ever should. Perhaps this behaviour is expected; I don't know (Is there some caching going on?) scott -- Copyleft (c) 2001, Scott Moynes
