Re: Youch! xemacs-beta memleaks PC to death when byte compiling

Asfand Yar Qazi writes: You make it sound like this happens *fast*. Again, this doesn't sound like the leak reports I've heard before. I also just ran a full build of the packages, including the haskell-mode that explodes for you; not only did top report that XEmacs was using about 58M for the haskell-mode compilation, but I never saw a figure higher than 75M. (I'm not denying what you saw, just reporting that I don't see it.) I gather this is your daily-use build, and you don't observe a similarly disastrous leak in normal use, only in building the packages? Is it always the haskell-mode.el compilation? (If not, you might have a hardware issue, bad memory or something like that---not likely, but something to keep in mind.) To diagnose this, we really would like to have a full bug report; it contains a lot of information about your build, including features detected by configure as well as those you specifically requested. It also reports on the Lisp environment (though that should not be relevant in a package build). To work around it, you could update to the latest CVS sources, as I believe at least two leaks have been plugged since the release of 21.5.27. If you're consistently seeing the problem in haskell-mode, you can just delete that whole directory, and any other that exhibits the problem (except xemacs-base, debug, and ruby-modes, of course).
