>>> Rich Murphey said: Howdy Rich, Long time we don't hear from you :) I switched to gnumalloc on XF86_S3 and I have not seen any problems. It is kind of early to report bugs. So far xman is not hugging the X server's memory, at one point xman managed to make the X server grow to 20MB over here with libc's malloc. My guess is that there is a memory leak on the X server. Given that xman exasperates the problem it may be worth a try to use re-link the X server with mprof and running xman againt the X server. At any rate, I like gnu's malloc functionality of giving back to the system memory that programs free up. I recompiled mxterm with gnumalloc and right now my system feels a bit more snappy. Tnks, Amancio
