Possible Memory Leak

Post by OOPMan »

Hi, Iv'e experienced the following behaviour while using SABNZBD a couple of times:
  • Start SABNZBD
  • Leave SABNZBD overnight
  • Sometime during the night my ADSL goes wonky and name resolution starts failing
  • SABNZBD stalls but seems to continue to using memory for something
  • When I come back the next morning my Swap is almost entirely used up and the only way to recover it is to restart my computer
I suspect the memory leak lies with the Web Interface and Chrome. I've noticed that if I close Chrome before leaving the system for the night then this tends not to be such an issue, although
closing it after the leak has slaughtered my swap does little good...

I've linked to an image displaying the output of a running top:

Has anyone else experienced anything similar to this?
