Memory leak

[dino99]

I'm logged with gnome-shell, and often get gnome-mahjongg using high cpu resources on that system having 4 cores. Sometimes i need to kill the gnome-mahjongg process to get back a normal cpu/cores usage (even when gnome-mahjongg is loaded but not played).

This has already been reported by Debian: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=712815

on my system , running valgrind, i get:

oem@oem-desktop:~$ valgrind gnome-mahjongg G_SLICE=always-malloc G_DEBUG=gc-friendly
