Hi all again,

yesterday I did some testing and concluded the following:
1) Xvesa with Fluxbox and some bash shells running "top" cause memory leak in Xvesa on my Pentium I 90 MHz/67 MB RAM and also on an AMD Thunderbird 700 MHz/384MB RAM
2) Xvesa with JWM does NOT cause memory leak in Xvesa, tested under the same conditions!!

Maybe both of you should list applications you run often, we might see a pattern.

I use DSL xvesa on my mp3server and it runs for weeks and weeks on 256mb ram. We had a power outage the other day so my uptime right now is only 7 days. I've never had it run and then lock.

Confirmed, running top in fluxbox using Xvesa percipitates the memory leak of Xvesa.
This does not occur using jwm. Hey, I told you jwm uses less system resources.

So this is really a fluxbox issue?

I had the memory leak problem up until this week when I finally got fed up enough to switch over to XFree86. This problem occured whether I ran top or not. In fact I hardly ever run top since I use QPS. I think almost anything can cause this leak, not just top. To test my theory I reset my machine right before I left work one Friday. I didn't do anything but let it load to the desktop. When I got back on Monday I had maxed out my swap and was running 92% of my physical memory (384MB total).

I run v1.5, frugal, toram.

Good Luck
