E/L 1.99n broken under kernel 1.2.10
Hi all,
I want to second the observation that E/L 1.99n seems to have a memory
leak under kernel 1.2.10. I haven't registered for executor yet (plan to soon,
I was waiting to see what 1.99n was like first) so I ftp'd 1.99n from
vorlon.mit.edu, installed it (BTW I like the makefile installation procedure),
and fired it up. I get the splash screen and hit "demo" and then watched my
xsysinfo swap usage indicator grow and grow and GROW. Finally I just killed
the process. Thinking that perhaps incompatible bits of 1.99m were left
hanging around after installing 1.99n over the top of it, rm'd the entire
executor install tree and installed 1.99n clean and fresh with the same final
results.
So, like I said I am planning to register right away and I would be more than
happy help ARDI focus on squashing this bug. I imagine it really is something
having to do with kernel 1.2.10. Tonight I'll switch back to 1.2.8 and also
to 1.2.11 (or 1.2.12 if such an update comes out later today) to try to
narrow this down a bit. I running on a 486/66 with 16 Megs, ATI Mach32
Graphics UltraPro with 2 Megs, and Slackware 2.3.0.
And while I'm at it, I'd like to take this opportunity to offer my most
profuse thanks and praise to ARDI for such a killer product! (my probelms with
1.99n notwithstanding).
Sincerely,
Tom
