[bf1942] Status of Linux server? Ryan? Hello?

[DLinkOZ]

I think the best thing you could do is list your system specs, OS specs, etc
for Ryan and explain what's happening.  Tell him what you've got and that
the server is running wild on memory consumption.  A one liner in all caps
saying it's too high does him absolutely no good at all.  700mb... are you
sure there's not some cached memory you're not seeing?  Top actually says
the bf1942_lnxded process is using 700mb?  It's not necessarily a code
issue, because it's not happening to everyone.  Might be some sort of
combination of OS version and hardware that's causing it, and obviously I'm
not using that combination since I experience no leaks.  Until Ryan can see
what hardware and what OS' are exhibiting this problem, it will be hard for
him to nail it down.

My point is, sending an email to the list with a simple line of "NO
DEDIDICATED SERVER SHOULD NEED THIS MUCH MEMORY!" does whoever codes the
product absolutely no good.  You might as well just tell him the gross
national product of Finland... it would help as much in his coding efforts.
