I have installed openoffice.org in mdk 8.1. Before starting it the free was
as follows.
[root@localhost lvgandhi]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 254528 148648 105880 128 4372 71012
-/+ buffers/cache: 73264 181264
Swap: 136544 0 136544
After opening opening openoffice and a word doc in it I got as follows
[root@localhost lvgandhi]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 254528 248528 6000 9716 4960 131236
-/+ buffers/cache: 112332 142196
Swap: 136544 2948 133596
After closing the document and having bare openoffice I had the following
[root@localhost lvgandhi]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 254528 248448 6080 9716 4960 131236
-/+ buffers/cache: 112252 142276
Swap: 136544 2948 133596
After completely closing openoffice I got as follows
[root@localhost lvgandhi]# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 254528 248368 6160 9716 4960 131236
-/+ buffers/cache: 112172 142356
Swap: 136544 2948 133596
As one can see memory is not freed after closing it. Does it mean there is
memory leak or any other problem. Anybody can explain this phenomenon?
