The instance is running for more than ten days without any apparent leak. Thanks! I am running an i686 machine. Pentium III (Coppermine) CPU Speed 846.87 MHz gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.0.3 (Debian 4.0.3-1) I did everything again, just to make sure. I got rid of Firefox, and with no Firefox and no instances of Emacs, my memory use (both RAM and swap) decreased over ten minutes. With Emacs (-Q -D, my doing nothing), but no Firefox, RAM use increased (but no change in swap). -- Robert J.
