I've seen a similar issue on our Solaris 9 systems, but I rarely saw
the memory size go above 500 MB. We had been running VNC 3.3.3r2 from
AT&T until very recently when I switched that out with RealVNC (Free)
4.1.2. This upgrade was being done to fix two problems, one of which
was the memory usage. We haven't been able to track down the
triggering event (specific X application or length of time the
session is running). I've been meaning to run a debugger on a running
app that is using memory like this to send info about how much RAM is
allocated for what....
PS: Is there any way to configure the vnc-list mailing list server to
add [vnc-list] to the subject of e-mails? That would make sorting e-
mails a lot easier.

Hi,
I'm using the 4.1.2 Free Edition on Solaris 10.
Recently (ie this morning!) we noticed that one Xvnc process's
virtual memory
size had grown to about 4GB (the worst case), with most of this
resident in
memory, forcing other processes to be swapped out.
As I'm used to seeing Xvnc sizes like 20/30MB this was a bit of a
surprise, to
say the least.
Has anyone else exerienced this and if so is there an explanation
please?
Apparently we have recently installed a new "screenlock" program
into all
sessions and I wonder if this may be the cause.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Platt
