[bt-devel] Memory leak(?) on Fedora 13? Bibletime won't start (SVN)

[Gary Holmlund]

  Steven,

I tried compiling the latest git version of Bibletime debug on Fedora 
13. It compiles fine. It starts in under 2 seconds. The process size 
from top is:

  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
  4250 gary      20   0  137m  50m  28m S  0.3  1.7   0:04.46 bibletime


Here are some related packages obtained from the repo:

sword-1.6.2-1.fc13.i686
sword-devel-1.6.2-1.fc13.i686
qt-x11-4.6.3-8.fc13.i686
qt-4.6.3-8.fc13.i686
qt-devel-4.6.3-8.fc13.i686

You can also get Bibletime from the repo:

bibletime-2.7.3-2.fc13.i686

I hope this helps.
