Hello,
I'm using Fedora Core 2. I'm noticing the htt_server is occupying a
huge chunk of memory.
A screenshot of the "top" output sorted by memory usage shows:

Does anyone having a similar issue? The htt_server process just keeps
growing. When the process has consumed almost all of my swap space, my
computer will become unresponsive or may even freeze. I can't imagine
how it can take up more memory than Mozilla and the X server. Could
this be a hardware problem?
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Colin
