[Dnsmasq-discuss] hogging RAM

[c***@lim.nl]

Hi all,

I'm running dnsmasq on a 128MB VPS server running debian 7 which I have
set up primarily as a VPN. I've configured it with an adblock list from
yoyo.org that I update once a week.

For some reason, dnsmasq is currently using abnormal amount of memory:

PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND


2386 dnsmasq 20 0 132m 79m 0 S 0,0 61,8 0:01.42 dnsmasq


It is crashing periodically, and apparently caused the VPS itself to
crash last night.

Any thoughts about what might be going on here?

/usr/sbin/dnsmasq --version
Dnsmasq version 2.62

$ uname -a
Linux vera 2.6.32-042stab113.11 #1 SMP Fri Dec 18 17:32:04 MSK 2015
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Thanks

Try a recent version.
