salut all

the VM problem is back for OS X here: Looks like the View->Library is the factor.

ran Jum's latest CVS version (jum360) for 16 hrs yesterday as I normally would (UP, uploading ~45KB/s on average and with all the GUI turned on), hoping the VM would be stable at ~750MB. However, after about 8hrs HD space started dropping, and the VM was up to 1.1GB.

Turned off all options possible in the View Menu, and over three hours the VM remained stable at 1.12 GB.

Turned on ONLY the View->Library pane, and the VM rose to 1.71 GB in 2 1/2 hrs.

Turned Library pane off again, and the VM remained constant for the next 1 1/2 hrs at 1.71 GB

left it to run overnight, but logs show Java crashed about an hour later, followed by a limewire crash 39 seconds later. (Here's the basic info

An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.

Sorry Sam: after your kind words previously I really hoped the VM problem was fixed here.

If you are in a rush to get 4.2 out, would it help if the OS X View options could be turned off when there is no user interaction for, say 15 minutes, and turned on again when LW detects user interaction?
