[mythtv-users] Getting crazy! 'std::bad_alloc' St9bad_alloc

[Marco Gusy]

By the way, I just noticed that strace -e trace=mmap2 gives this strange 
output

(...)
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 
0xb7f1e000
mmap2(NULL, 4158230528, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 
0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
mmap2(NULL, 4158365696, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 
0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)
mmap2(NULL, 2097152, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_NORESERVE, -1, 
0) = 0xb4a6a000
mmap2(NULL, 4158230528, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 
0) = -1 ENOMEM (Cannot allocate memory)

Look: it tries to allocate 4 gigs (and faults... obviously!). Looks there is a 
bug leading to a memory leak
