Memory leak in Powerlinc Plugin... caught it

[jwilson56]

Well after being plagued with unexplained lockups but suspecting the Powerlinc plugin for weeks now I finally caught it right as it started to eat memory. I snapped a screen capture shown below. I would say it has a problem.

Perhaps you have a bad unit? I use the powerlink and have seen no lockups.

HS the program reboots my machine every so often when it feels like, but that is a feature, and not a bug..... (He sez anxiously, waiting for 2.0)

A bad unit maybe true - but definately bad software driver. It should never use near that much memory. Most likely it's both - a bad unit is causing error recovery code to run that has a bug in it.

John,
What version of the plugin are you running?

 

[jwilson56]

1.05 I think.. the latest in the updater

Great support from HST. I put in a high priority ticket on this and 4+ days later I still get no reply. Oh well....

High Priority means High Priority for YOU, not HSTinker.


All kidding aside, I have taken to emailing Rich directly. It has been the only way that I get answers. Rich has always been very straightforward, and helpful.

John,
I'm sure you and about a thousand others have high priority tickets in the queue. With only one guy answering them and one and a half guys coding HS 2.0 I doubt HST considers this high priority. Your the only guy to post this problem so I'm guessing they aren't seeing this as high priority. I have had a high priority ticket in since last April and have yet to get it fixed so your not alone. I have 2 address entries in my HSP book the 2 default ones. If I attempt to add another HSP goes to 100% CPU and hangs the system. I have given up on adding new address book entries.

John:

Really, do you have ANY idea what these guys were up to these last few days:

If not I offer the following:

Clue #1

Clue #2

Clue #3 (posts #4 & #17))

:huh:

Then obviously its not ready for prime time yet. The software as a whole seems to have way too many bugs in it. And we want to goto 2.0 that will have 100 times the bugs no doubt.

Ok, that's it John:

Well ya better buy em by the case.... I am not the only one that has problems with the overall stability of HS. Not fun to have your PC brought down to a crawl and crash due to just turning on a light.

:huh:


I guess I will go back to my CM11a until I hear an answer.

John,
Did you ever check the Poll Rate and Transmit Delay settings?

Rupp:
Have you found the address book and deleted it? I've not checked it out but that maybe would reset HSP.

Bruce,
I have tried everything under the sun to no avail. Rich did work with me for a couple of days but gave up because nothing would work. I believe the only way to fix it would be to rebuilt my HS server but it's been 100% rock stable for months so I'll just live without phone book entries until something dies.
