[mythtv-users] FC2 memory leak

 	That's what has me worried... unless it's an Athlon thing (mythbox is 
PIII).  I know that some programs are a bit of a memory hog:

... but even going to single-user and back doesn't clear up the mystery 
memory... Maybe I'll try UP kernel.  Naw... I'll try FC2 on the dual-PIII 
offline and see if it blows.

 	I did look through the fedora-test-users for 'smp memory leak' and 
things of that nature, but no joy.

 	BTW, sorry about the semi-OT here... it's really a preemptive 'mythtv 
might break if I do this' kinda thing that's not really myth related at all.
