[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#440858: xfce4-sensors-plugin: seems to leak memory

[Daniel Gibson]

Package: xfce4-sensors-plugin
Version: 0.9.0-2
Severity: normal


Hi,

after running xfce4-sensors-plugin for some hours, it uses way too much memory.
after 8 hours "ps ux" gives the following line for it:

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
caedes    3414  0.3  4.7 105056 98368 ?        S    14:41   1:32 
/usr/lib/xfce4-sensors-plugin/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-sensors-plugin 
socket_id 14680144 name xfce4-sensors-plugin id 11883314342 display_name Sensor 
Plugin size 24 screen_position 2

compared to right after logging in:

USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
caedes   23785  0.4  0.3  14868  8048 ?        S    22:48   0:00 
/usr/lib/xfce4-sensors-plugin/xfce4/panel-plugins/xfce4-sensors-plugin 
socket_id 14680144 name xfce4-sensors-plugin id 11883314342 display_name Sensor 
Plugin size 24 screen_position 2

So after running for 8h it uses about 100MB of memory, compared to about 8MB 
right after starting.


Thanks,
- Daniel
