<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>So last night i believe i figured out the problem. It has to do with a Media monitor patch that was put in earlier for me. <br><br>The issue first started when I upgraded to fedora 8 on my old hardware. It was only 32bit but same case and pci cards. At this time i was running SVN self compiled. i was seeing this spewed to the console when running mythfrontend.

http://www.nabble.com/F8-errors-when-running-SVN-console-td14235447s15552.html</a><br><br>Then i upgraded my motherboard, CPU, and RAM. I reinstalled F8 64 bit and compiled SVN. I had some issue compiling, when this happened I thought maybe it was my compile. So i installed ATrpms bleeding packages. Still not fixed.
<br><br>Last night when i was looking the cmd line of the FE i was wondering what the heck is /dev/sde-f? Looking at hardware the only thing different in the box from my other was it had 2 hard drives and a pvr-150 and the case an SD reader on the front which plugged into USB headers.
<br><br>I unplugged the SD card ports and those messages went away! I just ran mythfrontend all last night and the comp only used 600 of the 950mb of RAM and no SWAP. <br><br>So my conclusion is Media Monitor must have been spawning new threads of Media Monitor and not closing them properly, they just kept making new ones and eating memory. I'm going to put this in the ticket as well to see if we can come up with a real fix.
<br><br>I don't use the SD reader at all but some may for mythpictures, etc.<br><br>Mitchell<br></div></div>
