Hi,
A customer has the following problem with the X-server.
OpenVMS V5.5-2 with following patches installed:
VAXDECW11_U2055; VAXDECW01_061; VAXLIBR06_070
When he starts an aplication (which uses a lot off pixmaps) the virtual
memory of the X-server starts growing up until 32000 pages. After this
the memory usage of the X-server stays the same as long as the user
stays in the application. After logging out the virtual memory stays
the same; this is normal. But after logging in and starting the
application again it takes about 2000 pages more than before and stays
there. The vm keeps growing after every logout/login so eventualy the
X-server reaches its PGFLQUO (60000) and dies.
What could be the cause of this behaviour, is this some sort off memory
leak in the X-server?

It does sound like a memory leak since the pixmaps should be freed when the application exits, as long as the application isn't calling XSetCloseDownMode with RetainTemporary or RetainPermanent. I suggest entering an IPMT case. -- Bob | |||||
