I don't blame anyone. Before I go and blame it on bug # 254412
I want to make sure it's not somthing else.
Here is a work around for 254412 that was posted a while back !
Insert the following lines in /usr/bin/X11/X just before the exec to
the Xsgi and Xsgi_d
MALLOC_CONFIG=2:mm_minunmapsize=2097152:mm_szunmapshift=21:m m_minunmapsrch=0\
:mm_xf[0].mm_flindx=8:mm_xf[0].mm_szshft=5:mm_xf[1].mm_flind x=2055\
:mm_xf[1].mm_szshft=9:mm_xf[2].mm_flindx=2065:mm_xf[2].mm_sz shft=20:mm_flsearh=30
export MALLOC_CONFIG
Add large amounts of virtual swap.
IT DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM !! It prolongs it. We have a patch in the
works being tested at a couple of customers.
The memory is actually not being used, it's not a leak in the traditional
sense, it's more an accounting problem/fragmentation problem that only shows
up with some special sizes and allocation sequences that seem to be more
frequent than when we originally tested it.
Apologies for the inconvienience, it's a top priority problem. I can't
make commitments to this since this problem belongs to someone else and
I cannot speak for them.
