winamp process size keeps growing

abhidon · 9th April 2002, 22:32

Running Winamp 2.79 on WinNT 4.0.
When I connect to a SHOUTCast stream, winamp's VM consumption (as seen in Task Manager) keeps growing. After a few hours, Windows starts complaining about low virtual memory, because Winamp is using most of the available memory.
I have seen Winamp using almost 120Mb of RAM!

Is this a know issue?

Thanks.

Delete any third party plug-ins and completely un-install and re-install Winamp.

- Webhancer (100% CPU / RAM Hog)

Which version of this plugin that caused the problem? Please report it to the author of the plugin so it will be fixed. Why I ask this, it that so we can know if other people experience similar problems due to the plugin and tell them to remove it.
