Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
multiload-applet-2 memory usage appears to grow without bounds:
:; uptime
09:37:18 up 13 days, 20:46, 7 users, load average: 0.10, 0.27, 0.27
:; ps auxw | grep multiload
bdowning 14684 0.2 23.3 704516 480568 ? S Nov28 53:06 /usr/lib/
:; kill 14684
(after it restarted)
:; ps auxw | grep multiload
bdowning 10424 2.0 0.4 190940 9876 ? S 09:35 0:00 /usr/lib/
(about 20 minutes later)
:; ps auxw | grep multiload
bdowning 10424 0.3 0.5 191560 10656 ? S 09:35 0:04 /usr/lib/
I did not open the system monitor window after I killed it, the memory growth happens over time naturally.
