[Devil-linux-develop] Memory leak?

[Serge L. <se...@nn...>]

Dear Sirs.

  I'm using DL 1.2 (2.4 kernel) loaded from USB-drive.
The small cron script writes output of procinfo to hard drive mounted to
/mnt/ every 5 min.

  There are base system processes that are running:
> root@rsf:~ # ps -A
>   PID TTY          TIME CMD
>     1 ?        00:00:04 init

But every time procinfo is done I can see decreasing free memory (~ 4k
every time).

 Is it memory leak?
