I don't really know if it's an emacs or gnus bug but I'm posting this message here for now. I use emacs 21.3.1 and gnus to read usenet and I'm also subscribed to some binaries newsgroups (mainly plane stuff). When emacs opens a message that as image embedded in that it's able to display (more on that later), it displays it. So far so good, except that it allocates some memory and never frees anything. I have tried the cvs version of yesterday (21.3.50.2) and the same thing happens. If you don't restart emacs from time to time, it's able to suck all your memory. To diagnose the problem, I used xrestop, a tool that "provides 'top' like statistics of each connected X11 client's server side resource usage" (http://www.freedesktop.org/Software/xrestop). Memory used by emacs goes into the column "Pxm mem". Am I the only one seeing this? Any idea? Regarding the other thing (which is probably more a gnus thing), how come some pictures are displayed internally and some others are not? -- Mathieu Chouquet-Stringer E-Mail: mathieu@newview.com Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity. -- Hanlon's Razor --
