Good time of day!
I try to use Org-mode and discover possible memory leak.
When i'm in simple org mode, and press [TAB] for a lot, looks like an
legion of Langoliers eat my memory. In 10-20 seconds emacs uses about
100M of RAM.
But I have only 256! :)
Is it normal behaivour?
Sorry for my ugly english :]

In what context are you pressing TAB? Are you completing something?

Hi, Emacs,
in my recent attempts to build Emacs-23, I have encountered Seg-faults
continually. These occur when the (prototype) Emacs is byte-compiling
the mass of Emacs lisp files.
However, if I just type 'make', the build continues.
My system is Debian-Sarge GNU/Linux.
My first suspicion was that my swap partition was too small. So I
terminated all competing applications, but that didn't prevent the
problem.
So I suspect there is a store leak somewhere. Would somebody please
suggest some appropriate tool(s) for me to look at this with. A graphic
X-Window program continuously displaying allocated/free store is the
sort of thing I'm thinking of.
Thanks!

A normal leak would not likely bring a byte compile session to a
standstill. It is more likely that you have run out of pure space when
dumping Emacs. When that happens, garbage collection is no longer done
at all. If you write
M-: (garbage-collect) RET
and get nil, this has happened.
Try recompiling Emacs and watch for "pure space overflow".

Does cat /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space return 2, by any chance? I
get a segfault in that case on Debian sid GNU/Linux, whenever I try to
dump-emacs.
