Hi, all -- I'm back with more memory leak questions. I've made it to 1.3.28 with my full patch cocktail (see attached) and have still seen large memory footprints with mutt on large folders -- but not necessarily all large folders. For instance:

Note also the two mutt processes running on folder =F.mutt; 23936 is my patched version, while 23954 is plain stock. I'd like to know why my cocktail is so big, but even the clean one takes a whale of a lot of memory. This hasn't taken terribly long to grow, either, and when they started they were still bigger than the other mutts: [zero] [11:40pm] ~> head ./mutt-memory-size-cron-check.dat Thu Mar 28 10:30:25 EST 2002 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND davidtg 23936 1.1 1.8 12576 11744 pts/8 S 10:22 0:05 mutt -f =F.mutt davidtg 23954 1.1 1.8 12552 11744 pts/16 S 10:23 0:04 ./xfer/mutt/Clean/mutt-1.3.28i.patched-00 -f =F.mutt Thu Mar 28 10:30:57 EST 2002 USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND davidtg 23936 1.0 1.8 12576 11744 pts/8 S 10:22 0:05 mutt -f =F.mutt davidtg 23954 1.0 1.8 12552 11744 pts/16 S 10:23 0:04 ./xfer/mutt/Clean/mutt-1.3.28i.patched-00 -f =F.mutt [I have a cron job running to watch them to see if either suddenly spikes.] What contributes to memory usage? The taxinfo folder isn't very threaded; it's not a discussion list. The freenet folder is threaded, but it's only 8M or so. More to the point, what do I need to do to track this down? Even if we exclude for the moment the cocktail, should the stock version be that big or might there really be a problem after all? What additional data can I provide? Should I file a flea with as little to go on as I have? I've put =F.mutt (as of this hour; compressed to just about 7M) and the data file (by link, so it's up to date) up at http://mutt.justpickone.org/whatleak/ for anyone to grab for debugging if necessary; I don't think there's anything special in the folder, but maybe so.
