First, the details: epoch 4.2 compile with gcc 2.2.2 (haven't tried 2.3.1 on it yet), running on a SPARC 2, SunOS 4.1.1, with X11R5. I seem to have run into a memory leak somewhere. Or maybe it is just obscene memory usage. I don't expect to see a fix for this anytime soon, but I figured that I would let you people know what I am seeing. Now the story: I run epoch all the time. More specifically, I leave it running for as long as I am logged in (long periods of time, > 1 week to say the least). I have no need to quit and restart epoch, since I am using the gnuserv package with it. For the sake of background information, I constantly run mh-e and lighbrite, plus I intermittently run gnus. I also find myself running any number of C editing sessions under gnuserv/epoch. What I have found is that after a longer period of time, epoch's memory usage has climbed to between 7 and 10 MB! This is some pretty serious memory usage. So I guess my question is, has anyone else seen this?
