Date: 15 Mar 1993 01:50:04 UTC Lines: 21 Hi folks. In patching the kernel etc. with patchkit 0.2.2, I just ran across patch00056 about a serious memory leak for gnu troff. I'm sure I've been bitten by this one - I've been working on a 40 page manual in troff and have noticed swap space decreasing. After several incantations of "tbl manual | groff -Tps - >manual.ps" the thing starts over-swapping. Anyway, does someone have a newly (preferably compiled with gcc-2.3.3) version of troff? Is there an ftp site I can get it from? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ in real life: david fox email: dfox@quack.kfu.com 5479 Castle Manor Drive, San Jose, CA 95129 "Thanks for letting me change some USA magnetic patterns on your HD" -me 408-253-7992 "You've just won an absolutely FREE trip to the Isles of Langerhans" -me ------------------------------------------------------------------------
