Re: [9fans] 9pserv leaking?

["erik quanstrom" <quanstro@quanstro.net>]

russ, 

sorry about the delay in answering but i've been pretty busy and i thought
that i'd suffered a brain fart. i /thought/ i saw that the size of 9pserve
was 137M not 137k, as the email seems to indicate. (ps seems to be confused.)

however, i found the core today and it's nearly 190M. it grew 45M in 
the two hrs i was away from my computer before i sent gdb after it.

what should i be looking at in this core?
