[Mldonkey-users] [CVS 2.02-4] eating up all RAM and doing nothing

[Sven Hartge]

Hi.

Alle the time, I used 2.02-4 with great pleasure, but now, after a
simple restart, it starts to eat my whole RAM, causing the machine to
swap very heavy.

Since I know this is a devel-version, I try to figure out what happens.
I am afraid, until now I only have a strace dump ready:

This is all the process is doing, no network traffic in or out, no
reaction to any signals besides KILL or commands from the GUI or via any
other access methods.
