Spotlight & memory leak

[dgall]

I use Tiger Server (10.4.10) with OD for 10 users on a MacPro. I’ve activated spotlight (which is turned off by default) on the volume where the users directory resides. When I open a session on the server and I perform a spotlight search, I see a dramatic increase in the wired memory usage each time (about 300 Mb). The problem is that this wired memory seems to never be released afterwards. So after a few search the server performance is dropping. Any idea suggestions ? (don’t tell me to turn spotlight off, I need it)

I found the solution and it works !

But it took me while to discover that Spotlight was the culprit…
