Title:
TCG memory leak with FreeDOS 'edit'
Status in QEMU:
Expired
Bug description:
qemu trunk as of today leaks memory FAST when freedos' edit is
running.
To reproduce, download:
https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-
stuff/freedos/files/repositories/1.3/cdrom.iso
Then run:
$ qemu-system-i386 -cdrom cdrom.iso
select your language then select "return to DOS", then type
> edit
it will consume memory at ~10MB/s
This does NOT happen when adding -enable-kvm
