I've been running medm 2.2.9 from a Linux 4.1 pc for some months 
now. It works well for nearly a day and then dies. After much trial 
and tribulation, I have found no reason. My guess at this moment is 
that there is a "memory leak" in medm. I think that because: 1)It 
seems to run for different amounts of time with different amounts of 
memory installed. 2) It sometimes reports "out of memory for medm" 
in /var/log/messages. 3) Linux and X continue to run. In fact, to 
get around this problem, I have a cron task that checks up on medm 
and restarts it when it dies... and it works.

Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone offer a suggestion?

Thanks.
