Re: gEDA-user: PCB head fails with ***MEMORY-ERROR***

   This might explain my problem with PCB+GL.... maybe it's just a general
   problem with PCB? I have noticed that PCB can eat up about 3 GB after a
   few hours of routing.

     On my other, more muscular box, the repeated application of
     "optimize rats"
     takes down the whole desktop environment. After about two minutes
     the screen
     freezes and blacks out. A few seconds later this single line is
     shown:
      acpid: client 5490 [0:0] has disconnected
     I could still change to a different tty with [ctrl-alt-F1]. The gdm
     service
     failed to restart. So I rebooted the whole box.
     This seems to be a memory leak problem. I noted, that memory usage
     goes way up
     on rats optimization until it hits the ceiling (memory and swap used
     100%).
     See the system log I attached to the lauchpad bug report.

     These crashes happen with my current, a bit larger project. The same
     PCB
     binary behaves inconspicuously when used with small scale projects.
     I attached
     a gzip of the offending layout to this mail.
