Thiis seems more an interpretation of data than the data itself. What steps did you take to notice this? If it is a memory leak as you tend to describe here, it would be either a bad bug or s seriously corrupted install. But linux uses memory and disk differently, so it may be only an interpretation. Still, I did notice what appeared to be a memory leak which was really a bad install not long ago. The computer involved had a WD and a Maxtor on the same chanel and they were killing each other's data with timing chatter. Separating the disks to different channels and reinstalling cured the problem which had heretofore persisted through two reinstalls. Civileme
