[SunHELP] memory leak under Solaris 7

[bigj at flatwan.net]

Nah, not actually the system as a whole (don't you hate it when people
ask questions and don't give you enough 411?). Good example. I just
compiled irc, pidentd, webalizer, libpng, gd, zlib and install a
precompiled package. When I started I had 68 megs of 128 megs free (keep
in mind this in an idle system this time of night).

When I was done I had 28 megs free. As of this writing it's down to 24
megs. Nothing is running that is spawning enough children to chew up this
amount of space.

My next question is this, if I slap in a Solaris 8 CD and do an upgrade,
how does this effect my current stuff I've compiled under 7? Wil they
still run?

Thanks, Dale.

Jon
