Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org

Hallo,

on two systems with 2.4.2. (actually the suse tree from Hubert mantel at
ftp://ftp.suse.com/people/mantel/next) on a single/dual celeron machine
with 256/384 MByte Memory all show increased memory consumption after the
daily locatedb run.

Here is the output in that situation after a shutdown to single user mode
("init S"):

(cat /proc/meminfo)
