Package: xchat-gnome Version: 1:0.18-2 Severity: important Whenever I go to the settings in xchat-gnome, memory usage skyrockets. The first time I went to the settings I managed to closed them quickly enough to get away; the second time I had to do a hard reboot because my system was virtually unuseable. The third time (I wanted to undo a setting I did in the first try), I managed to kill xchat before it could take down my system again.
top output just before the kill: 3826 root 20 0 1278m 714m 692m D 31 71.2 0:45.72 Xorg 7353 erich 20 0 964m 695m 691m S 7 69.4 0:14.05 xchat-gnome As you can see, the memory use explosion seems to be X related. After killing xorg, memory useage of Xorg went down to 'sane' levels again, right now it is at about 7m shared. When starting xchat-gnome but not opening the settings dialog, things are still pretty normal: 13203 erich 20 0 63468 46m 37m S 0 4.6 0:01.57 xchat-gnome The setting I was changing in the first place was keyword highlighting, I doubt it is responsible for the memory usage. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-rc6 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xchat-gnome depends on: ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.22.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.22.0-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomeui-0 2.22.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.22.0-2 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.9-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnotify1 [libnotify1-gtk2.1 0.4.4-3 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libperl5.8 5.8.8-12 Shared Perl library ii libsexy2 0.1.11-2 collection of additional GTK+ widg ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-8 SSL shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii python2.4 2.4.5-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii tcl8.4 8.4.18-3 Tcl (the Tool Command Language) v8 ii xchat-gnome-common 1:0.18-2 a new frontend to the popular X-Ch xchat-gnome recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
