Wellenreiter Memory Leak?
« on: February 07, 2005, 09:50:30 pm »
Has anyone had problems with Wellenreiter running out of memory?   I'm running v1.0.3 from the feed.

I disabled logging and pressed 'start'. As packets come in I can see free memory dropping over time. Once it runs out qpe and wellenreiter die and my GUI is locked up. I can ssh in via the USB port but cant do much more than reboot.

Has anyone had any experience with this?  Any help would be appreciated.

When logging is disabled, it really shouldn't consume memory. Then again, I haven't looked at it for quite a while. I'll try to reproduce that when I have a chance.

I've confirmed the same symptom in OZ/Opie 3.5.3. If left on too long, Wellenreiter will seize, along with the whole Z.

Is there a fix/workaround?

Thanks in advance.

I ran into this problem with Wellenreiter on 3.5.2.

Running out of memory did not depend on logging at all. Even with logging disabled, it would continue to fill up memory until it died. I could only run it for a short time before memory was exhausted.

Is anyone still maintaining this app? It should take too much effort to track this down. Unfortunatly, I don't have a development environment to do this myself.

Thanks in advance.

I am still maintaining Wellenreiter however since I have so many responsibilities in the BitBake/OpenEmbedded/OpenZaurus/Opie world, the timeslots I can spend on actual application development are very rare these days - let alone debugging... I'd appreciate if someone else would dive into this problem.
