memory leak in cp

[Thomas Diesler]

Hi all,

I use RedHat 9

How did I produce the leak
--------------------------

* copy all RPMS from the distribution CD's 1-3 to ~myhome/download/RPMS
* enable the system monitor (for memory) in the bottom panel
* coy all RPMS (1408 files) to /usr/src/redhat/RPMS
* watch how the memory usage is growing up to 1.7G (my box has 2.0G)

shutting everything down, logout does not help.

thanks
