#2450 closed defect (fixed)

Xorg resource leakage

Reported by: raimund Owned by:
Priority: important Component: avdevice
Version: git-master Keywords: x11grab regression
Cc: Blocked By:
Blocking: Reproduced by developer: yes
Analyzed by developer: no

Description

Summary of the bug:

ffmpeg increases virtual memory of Xorg server.

How to reproduce:

Operating system: CentOS release 6.2 (Final)
ffmpeg releases: 1.1.4, 1.2
configuration: --disable-yasm --enable-gpl --enable-x11grab --enable-version3 --enable-libvo-aacenc

Run
% ffmpeg -f x11grab -s cif -r 25 -i :0.0 /tmp/out.mpg

and monitor X11 client resources by
% xrestop

You will find an <unknown> client constantly increasing X11 server memory.
Batch usage of xrestop indicates leak in category "cursors". 
(Maybe ticket #1738 introduced it?)

Bug does _not_ appear for releases 0.11.3 and 1.0.6!

Is this also reproducible with current git head?
To make this a valid ticket, please provide the ffmpeg command line together with the complete, uncut console output.

Please use git bisect to find the commit introducing the problem.
