If we try to write an 150MB CD the memory fills up to 150MB. The memory will not deallocate after closing cdrecord. Next if we try to write an 200MB CD the memory will filled up to additional 50MB. We don't know which part of the software is steals our memory. This only happens on 2.6, not on an 2.4 system and we can reproduce the bug only on the asus notebook. We have tried to find the leak with top and slabtop, but inconclusively. I put some information together. The informations are taken from the system after burning a 154MB CD. Please have a look at: http://cdrecord.sourcecode.cc . I uploaded the files to this address, to avoid high traffic on the lkml. Thanks for help, Patrick
