Description jernej srebrnič 2006-06-22 12:08:48 UTC

Version:           1.6 (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

i develop using JBoss. For developing/debuging i have JBoss set to debug mode to console. It writes a lot. So i set history to "unlimited" and clear the console/history, before executing a specific method.

Time to time i execute a lot of JUnit tests. just interested in the result not in the log, but don't care to change the stings. The log on file (the same as in console) goes to sizes about 1,3G.

after a time the console simply disapers. no error message. 
i think it should check available memory, if just for stopping nicely....

152MB of history and the console is gone :)

Hello Jernej,

Could you try running Konsole in GDB and try and get a backtrace that way?

If you have history set to unlimited then Konsole stores the history in a file, so there shouldn't be a memory usage issue.

It seems that konsole does however track the size of the Konsole history file using integers - which I would expect to cause problems around the 2GB mark.

Marking as duplicate of a newer bug which has a backtrace attached.
