Let me guess. Your are using a kernel later than 2.1.67 with sound
modules (sb ?)
If you are not using any PCMCIA stuff, try pre2.1.90 or wait for a full
2.1.90 and maybe all of Alan's patches will be there:)

Subject: not enough memory

Hi!

A short time ago, I watched my free memory. I recognized the following:
The
longer the system is up, the fewer free memory is left. The used memory
grows
and grows, but if I close some applications, the memory isn't freed, is
it? So I
have 78 MB of my 80 MB used. Is this a bug or a performance-feature? If
it is
the last, how can I switch it off?

Thanks in advance.
