Re: [Nautilus-list] Nautilus installer sucking memory

[Eric Mitchell <emitchell altaira com>]

Chalk up another RH6.2 memory hog.  This box has 512 MB of ram, and got up to:

  PID USER     PRI  NI  SIZE  RSS SHARE STAT  LIB %CPU %MEM   TIME COMMAND
10506 root       0   0  629M 151M 10332 D       0  2.2 48.2  16:41 eazel-instal

before I killed it.

It seems to be stuck in a mozilla-devel updating loop.

Zipped logfile attached.


UPDATE: running helix-update before eazel-installer seems 
break it out of the loop.
