Wine 1.1.7: emule 0.48a: excessive memory usage

Post by monohouse »

emule 0.48a on a from-source-compiled-without-compiler-optimizations Wine 1.1.7 uses excessive (infinite) amounts of memory with an estimated consumption rate of 1MB/minute until the system runs out of memory, I have yet to test other versions of either wine or emule, but I suspect this:

wine or emule versions do not matter, there will always be a memory leak, and it is obvious that it is not a wine problem, but rather an emule problem, fact is that alote of programs work fine, the reason that I mention this here, is because noone else does, and because I heard that wine should be able to overcome some of the flaws in windows programs, and because I was wondering if this is one of them

Does this occur under Windows?

as far as I can remember, yes, but there are 2 differences, it is not in the way memory in windows as it is "kernel paged pool", and it is also not 1MB/minute, it's about 1/10th 1/20th of that. also sometimes in windows it does not do that at all, practically, emule runs about 2 weeks before all memory on the system runs out, while on linux only about 8/12 hours with same amount of memory
