One can say using a cvs of X is the cause of this by somehow i doubt it would matter. X needs a sane make system and i'll bet 10:1 that it's the root of this shm usage. But it should not be crashing the OS ...which does occur since i just went down a couple minutes ago. Right now it's increasing 1 segment a second it seems. it's at 1200 now and i give it about 30 more minutes before i crash again. I'm gonna run this on the test8-vm3 patched kernel i had before that was VERY good except for that deadlock problem that caused me to crash after 7 days. If the shm usage is insane on that then i'll believe it is X's fault. be back with the results in a few minutes. --------------0A22F0B9EF0C22E576326B7B-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
