[Fedora-i18n-list] htt_server Memory Usage

[Colin Lau]

Hello,

I'm using Fedora Core 2.  I'm noticing the htt_server is occupying a 
huge chunk of memory.

A screenshot of the "top" output sorted by memory usage shows:
Tasks: 100 total,   1 running,  98 sleeping,   0 stopped,   1 zombie
Cpu(s):  1.7% us,  0.3% sy,  0.0% ni, 98.0% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si

Does anyone having a similar issue?  The htt_server process just keeps 
growing.  When the process has consumed almost all of my swap space, my 
computer will become unresponsive or may even freeze.  I can't imagine 
how it can take up more memory than Mozilla and the X server.  Could 
this be a hardware problem?

Any pointers are appreciated.

Thanks,
Colin
