Thanks for pointing this out. The root window painter I was initially
worried about has been running for days, painting random backgrounds
every 5 minutes, at home and at work, without any growth beyond ~19MB.
For instance...
sge:8$ ps auxwww | egrep USER\|scsh | grep -v grep
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND
sge 14708 0.0 7.6 19756 19856 p3 S+ Sun07PM 0:03.62
/usr/local/bin/scsh -o /usr/local/lib/scsh/scshvm -i
/usr/local/lib/scsh/scsh.image \\ scsh/xmartin-periodic.scm (scshvm)
(Of course I wrapped the long command.)
I'm really enjoying scsh. Keep up the good work.
Steve
