--- Comment #9 from Franck Bui
(In reply to Franck Bui from comment #6)
AFAIK malloc/free are provided by glibc and if the resources will become short the internal memory management of the glibc will do as well as of the kernel do their jobs. Compare with man:brk(2)
Well I wrote a simple test case that allocates then frees 1000 objects of 4096MB. I could see the same behaviour: the resource seemed not to be released by glibc. However strace(1) showed me that it was (by shrinking the heap by calling brk(2)). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
