[Sent to me off-list by mistake I think]

I find this a bit puzzling... I'm also running SuSE8.0 with find-utils and all, updatedb in cron, and I see no memory leaks. Strange. I am using a custom compilation of the standard SuSE8 kernel (which is 2.4.18) but I can't think of anything that I've changed that should effect things. I'm interested to see how this turns out.

Well, my machine at work (P3 933, 384M RAM) doesn't exhibit the memory leak... I'm going to try Hubert's Athlon 2.4.19 kernel at home, see if that helps, I'll feedback here... -- James Ogley, Unix Systems Administrator, Pinnacle Insurance Plc james.ogley@pinnacle.co.uk www.pinnacle.co.uk +44 (0) 20 8731 3619 Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.0) Updated GNOME RPMs for SuSE Linux: www.usr-local-bin.org *********************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY.
