Hi all,

I'm having a problem with HAL's `hald' process on an Intel Celeron 500
MHz fileserver running Slackware 12.0 that I'm managing.

The problem is that `hald' slowly keeps eating up more and more RAM over
time. Right after restarting it it'll consume 1.7% of the system's 192
MiB of RAM + 384 MiB of swap. Three days later it'll consume about 20%.
About a week after starting it, it'll use some 50%, meaning it has
allocated more RAM than the machine has.

Doing /etc/rc.d/rc.hald restart fixes it temporarily and makes it start
all over again. I guess I could have it restarted it from a daily
cronjob but that's fighting a symptom, not solving a problem.

Any ideas?
