Re: [gpsd-dev] Memory leak in gpsmon

[address@hidden]

Hello

gpsmon is working in client mode, and started with
 
gpsmon -n
 
The gpsd runs on the same machine, and is started with
 
./gpsd -n -N -G -D0 nmea2000://can0 /dev/ttyUSB1
 
There is "only" a AIS receiver connected to the nmea2000 network.
 
As i see here only a few ships on the nearby canal, the number of AIS messages 
is moderate, see marinetraffic station 1733.
 
I have the feeling, that the memoryleak is in or in the usage of the ncurses 
library, together with the NMEA<->AIVDM switching.

The machine runs ubuntu 12.04 64 Bit, and the non default options are (cat 
.scons-option-cache shows)

chrpath = True
limited_max_devices = '32'

Thjat's very weird. considering how little we use malloc. Direct or
client mode?
