Hi list
A program I wrote (namely, an archive extraction engine), when processing
a big and nasty archive, drives the numbers on top/ktop nuts.
In the memory column, I have > 1000MB, when the machine only has 512MB RAM
altogether (256 physical and a 256MB swap partitition)
Here's what it looks like:
PID USER PRI NI SIZE RSS SHARE STAT LIB %CPU %MEM TIME COMMAND
23882 root 14 0 1357M 1.3G 2232 R 967M 46.2 539.4 10:09 vs
1.3 Gigs?!
539% memory usage?
ktop also says "resident" memory is ~130Megs at this stage. It still
sounds too large, but it's technically possible, and I could be leaking.
Anything about how my code allocs/deallocs that screws top completely
up? Ideas?
System is RH6.2, default kernel.
uname -a says:
Linux november 2.2.14-5.0 #1 Tue Mar 7 21:07:39 EST 2000 i686 unknown
Thanks!
