Memory leaks - Now way over the top

[Froste]

I think this sounds like some form of swap issue more than a ram problem -- I have 1G ram, but only a 211M swap (it's more of a token, really), and my computer never uses the swap at all, even when playing regnum, with one exception: a week or two back the regnum client stopped responding and did a DoS attack on my computer, I managed to jump out into console after much persistence and waiting, and noticed that the swapping had gone haywire, once I killed the regnum process the DoS stopped and my system was freed up.

But if we went by your logic, then I should be noticing this behaviour far more often since I have way less swap than you, however clearly I don't so the conclusion must be that there's some portion of regnum in your ram goes crazy if it gets put in the swap, and systems with more swap space would swap more, and thus be at a higher risk of it occurring. But this means that it's not general ram usage by regnum, but rather some specific routine that befucks things.

Anyway, it's all speculation obviously.

I have been experiencing memory leaks that flood ram and swap, freeze up my PC and make me reboot to get it back. Those have been almost completely gone since a couple of patches, but they are still there. Definitely not as often as before though is what's sure, it's much better now on my system.
