Do you have an example patch that causes this? Which CPU type? pd- vanilla or pd-extended?

I am running Pd 0.39-2 on ubuntu Dapper. It seems as though if I leave Pd running for more than several days, the entire computer freezes or becomes sluggish to the point of being unusable. I can hear the disk thrashing like crazy.
By setting up a cron job writing ps -auxw to a new time-stamped
file in a directory every 5 minutes, I can clearly see by looking at these
files that the problem is that Pd slowly but surely eats all the memory resources of the machine. If I run the same patch with the nogui
option, the problem disappears. The thing is, I need to run this patch indefinitely *and* I need the gui.Am I seeing a memory leak in the gui and is this a known problem?
