[mythtv-users] Possible Memory Leak?

[Ken Thompson]

I've seen the same problem... EXACTLY the same problem.  I'm using 256MB
of ram in which it never recovers.  The program eats and eats ram till
the operating system jerks its leash to free up some memory. (2 MB)  I'm
not sure what exactly is causing it, if you use the command "free" I
hear, it will show you which process is chowing down on your RAM.  Hmm,
in the past week I've heard lots of people talk about this bug/memory
leak.  I wonder if any of the devs have seen it also.

My specs,
Duron 900
256MB PC133
Geforce 4 MX440
Soundblaster Audigy
Mandrake 9.1
Mythtv 0.9.1
Ivtv (the latest)
Alsa Sound (the latest)

I've just setup MythTv  for the first time and I seem to have a memory
leak.  I'm running with a PVR-250, 512MB of ram and 512MB swap. 
Basically, everything starts up fine and runs for a few hours, then my
system hangs tight because I'm out of memory.  I can watch the memory
used gradually grow and killing off mythbackend doesn't recover the
memory(hence why I think it's a leak).  If I don't start mythtv then the
box runs fine.  At this point I'm not sure if the leak is comming from
MythTv or from the ivtv driver.  Just thought I'd see if anyone had seen
this same problem or had any suggestions.

Tim Vann
