compiz.real memory leak

[Lie Ryan]

Binary package hint: compiz

compiz.real have a HUGE memory leak. It took nearly 50% of my memory (1GB) after a day running.

I have yet collected any idea why, and how the leak happened. I'm pretty new to this, so I don't know where to start checking.

Hardware details below.

Lie are you able to reproduce this with interpid fully updated or Jaunty?

thanks!

I haven't noticed the leak any more since several updates ago (still on Hardy). If no other people is still experiencing this problem, I think the bug could be considered closed.
