Hi,
I have an updated Mandrake 9.2 installed on my
computer. The computer is PentiumIII with 256 M of
ram, and 1.3 G of swap (512M on the main HD, and about
800M on a dedicated old hard drive). The system have
been working perfectly, up untill today.
For some reasons, when doing certain (but not all)
actions on the net, using konqueror, I end with no
free memory what so ever. One thing that always
reproduces this behaviour is pressing the search
button in google. When doing this, the free memory (as
monitored by ksim) drops from ~200M to 16M and free
swap memory drops from ~1150M to 12M and then becomes
pretty unusable.
I can press Ctr-Alt-BkSps to kill X and after about 10
minutes I get my computer back.
Another odd thing is that this problem exists only for
one user account.
 
Due to the problems with the list, I couldn't send
this message to the list for couple of days, so I just
created a brand new user account and deleted the old
one, but I still want to know what the hell was the
problem. Any ideas will be welcomed.
 
Don't know if this is related, but...
I use konqueror to browse my home directory at the
work using sftp:// protocol. The problems started
after network shutdown at my work.
