I was working about an hour ago and found that my computer was getting slow. I opened up `top` only to discover that dragster was eating 4 gigabytes of RAM and 98% of my CPU power. I wasn't transferring any files, I hadn't used Dragster for at least 48 hours - what is going on?

4 GB of RAM? By this time your system was desperately paging from the hard disk and had slowed to a crawl, no? Sounds like a memory leak to me, but that should have been fixed a long time ago.

The memory leak is probably just a byproduct of Dragster going into an infinite loop. Dragster shouldn't be doing anything later than ten minutes after the transfer. But maybe the CPU usage wasn't noticeable until it used enough memory to start swapping?

If it happens again, please try to take a sample of what Dragster's doing. Most reliable way is with "sudo sample Dragster 10" on the command line. That should be enough for me to figure where the hang is.
