This has been going on for some time, on 3 different complete installs, Xchat has been leeking while it's open for awhile ever since the new glibc. I don't know if this is only me that has this issue but here are some of my flags: USE="mozilla sse -kde -arts -avi -qt -qtmt -quicktime -3dnow" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" I have compiled with and with every combo in the ebuild "ie: removed ssl, gtk, gnome"
What Xchat version? 1.8.9 Fixed a Language Memory leak. Are you using any perl scripts, python, C plugins? Are you using a Pixmap Theme? GTK+ Pixmap themes leak memory and this becomes very noticable. gtk-engines prior to .9 leaked a LOT. If none of that helps, try a 1.9.x release it features a redesigned plugin core and also features GTK2.0 so hopefully less memory leaks -Angel666
i dont see how this is really a gentoo bug
Yes, I don't think we can do something for this one.
