Summary: alt.binz: memory leak. Regression since 1.1.7. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.9 Platform: PC-x86-64 URL: http://www.altbinz.net/ OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: steve@st4vs.net
Created an attachment (id=17418) --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=17418) An NZB file to import into Alt.binz which references Usenet articles that are known to trigger the memory leak
Both Wine v1.1.8 and v1.1.9 rapidly leak memory whilst using Alt.binz to download certain Usenet articles, whereas v1.1.7 remains fine.
Using Wine 1.1.7 after 30 minutes downloading: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND steve 18012 15.5 1.5 3722036 32804 ? Sl 15:08 5:10 altbinz.exe
Using Wine 1.1.8 after 15 minutes downloading: USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND steve 1277 28.0 25.6 3723204 528200 ? Rl 14:33 3:17 altbinz.exe Nearly half a GiB has leaked already. This seems to be proportional to the size of articles downloaded/decoded so far in this session.
Eventually Alt.binz will start to display various out-of-memory dialogues and cease responding.
Whether or not memory is leaked seems to be related to some property of the articles being downloaded; I believe it's only Yenc encoded articles that are affected. To aid with reproducing this problem I've attached an .NZB file which will queue articles known to trigger the problem immediately in v1.1.8 but not at all in v1.1.7.
