Re: Terrible Memory leak on 2.6

[Markus Walser]

yes, same problem here. And on the SuSE mailing list many other reported the
same when burning audio CDRs. I could reproduce it with vanilla-2.6.8-rc3/
2.6.8-rc4 too. Up to now I was just reading about problems with IDE drives.

Best regards, 

Markus
