 on a small map , MP 4p game, warzone2100 is reaching more than 1200 MB RAM
 usage, is this normal ?

  top information after the end of a 4p MP game :

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  8523 neofutur  20   0 1158m 277m 3236 D    1 56.9  56:59.24 warzone2100

 in my case its swapping , but i can end the game, but when the game ends
 wz have a problem to free RAM and swap
 10 mins after the end of the game its still using 1200 mb memory
 I have to kill -9 everytime I end a game or memory will never be freed
 kill -9 frees it immediately
 its beta4 built with nodebug ( had same problem before building with
 nodebug and launched with  ./warzone2100 --nosound --noshadows --window
 --resolution=800x600, with 128 for textures
 I waited up to 30 mins to see if it finally frees the memory, but no it
 will never free it
 a strange thing is that an strace -p 8523 ( wz2100 process number ) shows
 nothing, the process does nothing at this time when it should free the
 memory
 trying to use valgrind to find memory leaks :


 {{{
 valgrind --tool=memcheck  ./warzone2100 --nosound --noshadows --window
 --resolution=800x600
 }}}


  i found many ones like :


 {{{
 ==8523==  Address 0xb7152980 is not stack'd, malloc'd or (recently) free'd
 ==8523== Invalid write of size 1

 }}}
