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.
