A memory leak alone doesn't bring down a Linux system; the Linux kernel will kill off the process responsible if it sees that too much memory is being used.
So whatever problem you're having that requires a hard reboot is more than this. How did you determine that the problem you're seeing is due to "something" having a memory leak? If you know there's a memory leak, surely you should know what process is leaking? -- Please set memory limits by default https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182960 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
