Is it possible that you could either supply a fixed version of YOU or, alternatively and possibly better, open source it so that some of us can fix the bugs in it. YOU (and YaST as a whole) is open source. It has just a stricter license about redistributing changed code under the name YaST (AFAIR). All source

It's now becoming almost impossible to use and practically amounts to a denial of service attack on a SuSE 7.1 machine on which it's run. It contains massive memory leaks and currently, with the number of patch description files available for 7.1 on the SuSE ftp site, it now allocates over 300MB RAM and then blows up if there isn't enough swap space available to handle this.
And, yes, I'm aware of fou4s but I'm of the opinion that if a vendor supplies a tool with which to patch their distributions then it should actually work reliably! The reasons, why I wrote fou4s, are exactly the things you mentioned. Including the NULL reaction from SuSE.
