who: memory exhausted

vexxor · 2008-07-31 08:45:26

Ever since the KDE upgrade (or at least that's when i noticed it), who is making the following output (my work ip x-ed out):

[vexxor@raketa]$ who
vexxor   pts/0        2008-07-31 08:35 (xx-x-xx-xxx:S.0)
tajana   :0           2008-07-31 09:36
who: memory exhausted

This happens only when a person is logged in through kdm, if i'm alone on the machine through ssh, who makes normal output. The "w" command works correctly, although i notice now for every user logged in through kdm, they're logged in twice.

USER     TTY        LOGIN@   IDLE   JCPU   PCPU WHAT
vexxor   pts/0     08:35    0.00s  0.01s  0.00s w
tajana   :0        09:36   ?xdm?  28.21s  0.00s /bin/sh /usr/bin/startkde
tajana    09:36    2:53m 28.21s  0.20s kded4

I am launching kdm through inittab, and when pacman upgraded KDE, i needed to change the path to kdm from /opt/kde/bin (if i recall correctly) to the current value.

#
# /etc/inittab

#  Runlevels:

Does anyone have an explanation for this, or is anyone experiencing the same problem?

A google search of "who: memory exhausted" (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%2 … tnG=Search) brings this page up as the first result

Unfortunately after extending purple links to the 5th page of the results, i am still no closer to a solution. I am including an strace, in case someone more savvy than me has an anwer to this problem.

(and i realise it's just "who", and who needs it and all that. But i'm just compulsive that way )

I know this post is really old but its the only thing that even comes close in google to the answer. Did you ever figure out what the issue was ? I have tried several diffrent things to figure this out and still have the issue(its new for me and is only on the tablet I have)

My best guess is theres a memory leak somewhere, since I only see it on this tablet.
