[MPlayer-users] playlist memory leak problem

[Raheel Hameed]

hi,

there's memory leak problem when we use playlist option, it looks like
its leaking memory after every playlist iteration, and it can hardly
run for  5 minutes and exhausts all the memory and so kernel kills it.
I experienced this problem with MPlayer-0.93 & tried the latest
version MPlayer-1.0pre7try2 and the same problem exists there as well.
Here's the way I run the mplayer:

./mplayer -playlist playlist.txt -loop 0 -slave -fs -vo vesa -fixed-vo
 -really-quiet 2> /dev/null > /dev/null

whereas playlist.txt contains logo.mpg on first line and ppt.avi on
other line. It seems it doesn't matter what you play, this happens
always as long as you run it like above.

i'm running :

- Slackware 9.1
- Linux 2.4.22 i686
- libc-2.3.2.so
- gcc 3.2.3
- ld 2.14.90.0.6 20030820
- as 2.14.90.0.6 20030820
