Hi, I have an application that uses KDrive/Tinyx. The application seems to have developed a memory leak after I enabled Scalabe fonts. The application uses wxWidgets, so it is possible the leak is in that code. The sympton is that as the application runs, it begins to run out of memory, until the screen saver kicks in. Once the screen saver turns on, the lost memory is reclaimed. If the user continues using the device, and the screen saver never turns on, then the machine will run out of memory. The device runs a custom linux based on Redhat 7.3. It has 64MB RAM, 32MB is used for the ramdisk. The free memory drops from 10MB to 1MB, then the application crashes. This is a diskless PC, so there is no virtual ram disk. The main developer suspects that if there is a problem in KDrive, it might be related to memory caching or to memory fragmentation. The screen saver code is ours, and it uses wxWidgets function calls to allocate and display a large bitmap. When our device only used bitmap fonts, and did not use scalable fonts, this problem was not present. We are still doing a number tests, but I wanted to ask if this problem sounded familiar to anyone here, perhaps there is a known bug. The version of XFree86 I am using is: XFree86-4.5.99.6.tar.bz2 Thanks! __________________________________ Yahoo!
