rdiff-backup memory problems

[David <wizzardx@gmail.com>]

Hi list.

I've posted this problem to a few other lists over the past few days
(rdiff-backup, my local LUG), but I haven't had a reply yet, so I
thought I'd try here.

Short version: rdiff-backup is using 2 GB of memory (1 GB RAM, 1 GB
swap) on one of my backup servers. I'm using the latest Etch versions,
so there shouldn't be a memory leak in librsync.

Here is my (somewhat long) mail to my LUG:

Does anyone on this list have suggestions?

Thanks in advance,

David.
