Subject: Re: [9fans] output of ps(1) memory usage

Message-ID: <635db889d1bc3a9e84ea7455370aa642@granite.cias.osakafu-u.ac.jp> (raw)

I'm now fighting against possible memory leak of marsv.

I should have been more clear.    The background of my question
was that I first showed a image(206554 bytes), and the ps(1)
results are:
okamoto         478    0:07   0:00   35988K Rendez   marsv
okamoto         479    0:00   0:00   35988K Pread    marsv
okamoto         480    0:00   0:00   35988K Pread    marsv
then, cleared it, and read again a smaller image(21698 bytes),
and the results are:
okamoto         478    0:15   0:00   35988K Rendez   marsv
okamoto         479    0:00   0:00   35988K Pread    marsv
okamoto         480    0:00   0:00   35988K Pread    marsv

This was the reason why I asked the previous question.
