[Palm OS] VM Memory Leak
 

Is anyone else having memory leak problems? (I am running OS2007 on an N800)

I am able to start up the VM and launch applications just fine, but when I quit out of the VM, my memory (128MB virtual enabled) is pegged at 100% and does not return to normal until I restart.

Note: This is a re-post from the news item announcing the Palm OS VM. This is probably a more suitable long-term location.

I think I'm seeing a memory leak problem too.

A few different test apps (all from hard reboot):

Playing with google maps for about 30 seconds lead to about 120M used on exit of the VM and ps didn't show me any apps using more than 12M.

Playing a level of Vexed and came out with 85M used.

Wrote some stuff in MemoPad. No noticable leak.

Made new entry in Address - 85M used.

This is rather annoying and I hope that they fix it for the next release. Then again, I suppose it also encourages native maemo app development. I must admit that the palm google maps app is really nice compared the web version though; maemomapper doesn't do traffic/satellite which is pretty slick.
