SubjectMemory leak in 2.0.33??
*PLEASE* tell me I'm a luser and that 2.0.33 does NOT have a
memory leak as I heavily suspect.

I've been using 2.0.30 since it came out, have tried all 2.0.x
kernels and prereleases after 2.0.30 as well, but within a day or
two of each release I fell back to 2.0.30 for some problem or
another.

I figured that 2.0.33 would FINALLY be the final release in this
series, however it seems to have a memory leak.

The only change in my system has been the kernel - going from .30
to .31. I've got Netscape 4.03 running, and PINE, as well as 3
other console sessions, and my PPP link. I've got 32M of RAM on
an AMD-K5-133, and normally my system NEVER swaps. Since my
initial boot today, all I've ran is one pine session, and
Netscape, and a few bash sessions, midnight commander. Thats it.
On a 32meg system, I normally have tonnes and oodles of free
memory, or else a lot of cached data. I never swap unless I do
compiling while using netscape while playing Quake while......

Right now, I have 16M of swap used up, and it keeps getting
worse. It seems when I look at a new web page, the hard disk
starts going wild.

This is a cropped table. I just left the processes with the
largest numbers.

I'm not sure what other information might aide in determining
what the problem is, but when I use 2.0.30, the problem is
non-existant.

cj.pl is zombifying quite a bit, whereas it normally does not.
