Bug Description

I've got the problem that gam_server (/usr/lib/gamin/gam_server) often starts to
run and consumes almost all of my memory (my desktop machine has 512M of RAM,
there is 1Gbyte of swap partition configured) so it begin to die ... The only
chance that wait for the terminal to react (while swapping like hell) and type
"killall gam_server", when everything back to the normal. But gam_server starts
again after some time and I should kill it again and again before eating all of
my memory.
