Memori and Swap Full after some hours

[Marcelo Welter]

I have a windows application run in a very old machine
Pentium 133Mhz
32 Mb RAM 
(believes this still exist)

The application running fine, but after some hours (3 or 4)  the memory and swap are full and the machine run very slowly.
I Close the wine and all back to normal

I dont know what are happen with system, but is a very hard trouble to me.

Anybody have any idea to apply in this case

Thanks

There is some resource leaking in wine or your program. Does the program run
for ours on a sililar machine when running under windows?

The easiest workaround  is to close and restart the application from time to
time. Is that an option for you?

But also try to find out what resource is leaking, if wine is the culprit.

A are running "top" to see a estimative of process and i see wine only in this case. (If you have other please speak to me)

Close and reopen is a better idea at this time
I thinking in this too but are very strange too final users

thanks for

Marcelo,
  check if this happens due to bug 590:
http://bugs.codeweavers.com/show_bug.cgi?id=590

I believe issue 590 happens only when you move mouse
arount and does not happen when you don't touch the
application.

and my mouse is not conected in machine

Don't you think you might want to use ttydrv instead ? ;)

BTW, RTFMing helps a lot sometimes...

Ah, classical memory leak problem :-)

Unfortunately those are not too easy to find.
Try running with something like --debugmsg +relay,+local,+global,+heap,+virtual
in order to find out which part of memory gets allocated but not freed
any more.

Again, finding such a problem is a bit difficult.

Does that also happen if you don't do anything with that program for 3 or 4
hours ?
Or maybe it only happens if you do specific actions in your program ?
Try to narrow it down as closely as possible to some specific part.
