What steps will reproduce the problem?
- Open iTerm
- Run macports htop, pianobar, plenty of ssh's, and other readlineish programs
- Watch memory be eaten slowly...
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I should not really see that much ram being sucked out into iTerm.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Build 1.0.0.20120724 on 10.8
Please provide any additional information below.
None, really.
