I've also been following this with considerable interest. Because of the
reported difficulties with SP3, I actually installed SP2 about two weeks
ago. I had it running continuously for about 4-5 days (at one stage when
I had a look with ps it has clocked up about 100 mins of CPU time) and at
no stage did it exhaust my virtual memory. I did have some other hungry
apps like netscape running at the same time and I didn't see any lockups
at all. I have a 100Mhz Toshiba notebook with 40Mb physical and 120Mb swap.
The only thing I got (within a minute or so of initial startup) was exactly
28 lines on the xterm from which I started it, all saying
SalImage::Create pShmInfo_->shmid < 0 (28)
After that, nothing else unusual occurred. I would guess that the leaks
were probably mostly plugged with SP1 :-) (one would hope anyway).
Now that Andre has published the workaround to get SP3 running, the only
other thing I would like to see is a report from anyone using SP3 to say
if it is worthwhile going to SP3 over SP2. Any comments, anyone??
Cheers,
