Lines: 18 I've noticed that make seems to eat memory like there's no tomorrow. Often I have to stop & restart a make because gcc et al complains about being out of memory. I know that if I reinstall with something other than the default swap size, then the problem will be hidden, but it seems like this is not the optimal solution. BTW the leak only seems to happen when make actually kicks off another program. Cheers, Stephen
