I think yum-updatesd is leaking memory. I noticed that my memory usage
has been going up for the last few days. KDE System Guard told me that
yum-updatesd was using over a gigabyte of memory. I killed yum-updatesd
and my memory usage dropped back down to a normal few hundred megabytes.
This workstation runs FC6 and discribes itself as:
$ uname -a
Linux gargon.hooperlab 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 #1 SMP Wed Dec 20 14:51:34 EST 2006 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
After the kill there's plenty of free memory:
$ free
total used free shared buffers cached

There are no pending updates that might have caused anything.
