           Product: rpmdrake
         Component: rpmdrake
           Summary: rpmdrake causes X memory leak
           Version: 2.1-2mdk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Problem:
X starts to eat up memory when rpmdrake has been running for a long time (3+
hours).  The first time I noticed it, I left rpmdrake running overnight, and
came back to this error on the console:

rpmdrake: Fatal IO error 2 (Cannot allocate memory) on X server :0.0.

A ps from a separate test shows:

root      7308  0.5 80.6 286932 207028 ?     R    11:56   2:44 /etc/X11/X :0
-deferglyphs 16 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth vt8


This may be a general perl-GTK2 problem, but I haven't tested with other *drake
programs yet.

Details of how I reproduce:
(using a fluxbox session from gdm)
1 Start rpmdrake from an Eterm window.  Leave it running (ie you don't have to
do anything to cause the leak)
2 Do an occasional ps to see how much memory X is taking up.
