Memory leak?

[Roberto Oppedisano]

Hi.
I'm using egcs-2.90.23 980102 (egcs-1.0.1 release) on a Redhat 5.0 + updates
(libg++-2.8.0-1, glibc-2.06). I found that when I try to compile LyX v0.12.0 the
memory requirements are really huge:

gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -I. -I../images   -I/usr/X11R6/include lyxfunc.C 

USER       PID %CPU %MEM  SIZE   RSS TTY STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root      5608 50.4 71.6 89200 22308  p2 R    19:15   3:58 (cc1plus)

Same behaviour if compiled with -O9 optimization.
The same file compiled without optimization 

gcc -c -I. -I. -I../images   -I/usr/X11R6/include lyxfunc.C

requires about 8MB of RAM to compile.
Is this a normal behaviour?

Best regards

ciao, Roberto
