Or are we looking at possible heap fragmentation over time? Pretty sure we're looking at malloc() without free() more so then actual heap fragmentation. In other words, memory leaks. I usually try to log out and back in again at least once every month or two, just to make sure that any leftover stale processes and/or leaky programs get cleaned up. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
