It's not a leak. But when a window manager rises consistently to 30Mb Virtual and not ps -auxwwwfm reports more than 900k, there is a leak (The leak is user program related and not the problem) and a reporting problem. I could live my swap consistently going up to a certain point (i only have so many processes), but when it rises and rises and processes starts to die of I get a bit peeved. It would make it a wee bit easier to find the problem if i could get accurate info about the processes but when ps doesnt give that i dont know what else to do :/ -- regards/ Joakim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
