Package: condor
Version: 7.7.5~dfsg.1-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

We are running a backport of the Debian package of Condor 7.7.5 from
experimental on a cluster of Debian stable machines. Since upgrading
from 7.7.4 we noticed an increased memory demand for pretty much all
jobs.

I recently ran a week-long job that starts off at 10GB size and should
not gain significant memory size throughout the process (as confirmed
with Condor 7.7.4). After the upgrade to 7.7.5 the job continuously
increases it memory demands and I have to kill it after two days when it
exceeds 150GB consumption. However, the continuous growth is not limited
to this particular job -- most type of long-running jobs on this machine
are Python-based, though.

Looking into the 7.7.5 changelog I see a number of memory-related
aspects, but nothing that is a perfect match. I checked that this is not
just about Condor reporting increasing memory consumption, but the
respective cluster nodes actually run out of memory, because the job
grows and grows.

I'd be glad to get some feedback on what the problem could be and if
there is a workaround.


Thanks.
