interesting, but not the question I try to understand
somebody said "when memory leaks, the system crashes".
is this true (*crash*)?
When the system starts to run out of memoru, the OOM killer will kick in and try to identify who is gobbling up the memory. If it pick an innocent process, it could be seen as the system crashing.
There is another setting - you can let the system throw a kernel panic on out-of-memory, that sounds more like a crash. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.6°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
