Hello list,

I'm wondering, when I have a memory leak in my program, and the program exists etc..
Does the kernel do something with the memory afther X amount of time, or does it continue to stay until the reboot has done ?


I'm asking this because i noticed that altho i made a big memory leak once (actully the program crush in runtime that was the cuse... some library problem) but afther half a day i noticed that the memory in "free" command show that he used memory was droped altho i didn't made any execution of new things (unless 'free' is counted for..)

I'll appriciate any information about it, including pointed out to RTFM on the subject.


Ido -- If in any problem you find yourself doing an immense amount of work, the answer can be obtained by simple inspection.
