excessive memory use in VNC server on Solaris

[Steve Platt]

Hi,

I'm using the 4.1.2 Free Edition on Solaris 10.

Recently (ie this morning!) we noticed that one Xvnc process's virtual memory 
size had grown to about 4GB (the worst case), with most of this resident in 
memory, forcing other processes to be swapped out.

As I'm used to seeing Xvnc sizes like 20/30MB this was a bit of a surprise, to 
say the least.

Has anyone else exerienced this and if so is there an explanation please?

Apparently we have recently installed a new "screenlock" program into all 
sessions and I wonder if this may be the cause.

Thanks in advance,
Steve Platt
