[paranoia] Memory leak?!?

[Michael Knigge]

Hi,

> Well, I meant, what util is telling you that it's so big?

"free".... 

Let's have a look....

As you see, nothing special is happening on my machine. Now the same,
but with a 'cdparanoia –B "1"' running on another console:

And now the output of "free", just after cdparanoia did it's work:

crash:/home/mk# cdparanoia -B "1"
cdparanoia III release 9.7 (December 13, 1999)
(C) 1999 Monty <monty at xiph.org> and Xiphophorus

Ripping from sector       0 (track  1 [0:00.00])
          to sector   30889 (track  1 [6:51.64])

outputting to track01.cdda.wav

 (== PROGRESS == [                              | 030889 00 ] == :^D *

Done.

crash:/home/mk# free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     
cached
Mem:         30508      25316       5192      19288      11272

Swap:        96352         24      96328

So, before cdparanoia ran, I had only 17 MB of RAM in use, now after
the run there are 25 MB in use.....  Or did I get something totally 
wrong?

Bye & Thanx
