Icecast dev - Aug 2004 - Memory leak in ices2?

I can't tell if it's my system or the software, but I've been
running
ices-kh35 all day and now my RAM is almost gone. I have 1GB. The same
behaivior happened with the ices2 CVS snapshot from three days ago.

Here's the output from free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           977        969          8          0        128        626
-/+ buffers/cache:        214        763
Swap:          243          1        242

I don't really know how to read this, but cached looks kind of high.

These numbers probably don't mean what you think they mean. How much memory
is
ices2 using (ps or top will be able to tell you).

In general, linux follows the principal of free memory is bad, so it's
very possible that most of the memory will go into the page cache, as
Mike mentioned to verify the memory used by a particular process check
the ps/top output.
