[Rve-main] Another rve issue (crazy memory consumption)...

[Luca A. <luc...@em...>]

Hi, 

I just discovered that I was using an old rve version
(rve-20030926.tar.gz). I upgraded to the latest one
(rve-20031019.tar.gz), and I am now seeing a new problem: when I run 

rve -f 25 -s 80 -y 50 -x 50 550 60 0 hscroll_text "`perl -e 'print "$_ "
for (1 .. 600)'`" > /tmp/rve.fifo 

with the 20030926 version (after applying the "long long int" patches),
everything is fine, but when I run the same command line with the
20031019 version, rve consume almost all the system memory (98%) and
everything is frozen until the rve process is swapped out. Of course, I
do not see any scrolling title on the screen :( 

I don't know how to debug the problem, but I tested the 20031016 and
20031016 releases, and they both present the bug. Hence, it seems that
the bug was introduced somewhere in between 20030926 and 20031016...
