From: joel@wam.umd.edu (Joel M. Hoffman) Subject: GNU Emacs memory problems: solution! Date: Sat, 2 May 1992 18:40:37 GMT
I reported a few days ago that GNU Emacs or the kernel seemed to have
a memory le}k. Davidsan@microsoft.com pointed out that the problem
lies with the emacs binary, not with the kernel. There's a new emacs
binary on tsx-11 (emacs.Z) and also a new etc.tar.Z file. I just got
the new emacs.Z, and emacs can run (the memory-intensive) getris.el.
If you're having problems with emacs and OOM errors, get the new
binary. (I haven't tried the new etc.tar yet; don't know what's
different in it.)
