Sorry, I can't find a "gpe-info" product, so I choose "gpe-conf".  Please move
this to correct section if needed.  I'm unable to find the gpe-info version
used, or a bb recipe for it (but I only look a quick browse).

If you load up "System Info" in GPE, and leave it on the "Storage Info" tab for
an hour or two you'll notice that it uses all available memory.

My Setup:
I'm using OE-Dev. Angstrom 2008.01.  AT91SAM9261EK.  Basically the default
configuration.  I can get the problem to show two ways:

1. Tap the battery in the task bar and choose "More Info", and then choose the
"Storage" tab and leave it there.  On my board there is about 20MB free system
memory.  It goes down about 1MB every 5 mins.  After about an hour or two it's
at 1 or 2 MB free and sits there.  Running a "top" command I can see which PID
is using the memory/cpu.  I then do a "ps -ax" and see that the process is
"/usr/bin/gpe-info battery".

2. Tab "Start Menu > Other > System Info" and choose the Storage Tab.  Same
thing above however the process name is just "gpe-info" without the "battery"
or "/usr/bin" parts.


This behavior is reproducible every time for me so if you are unable to confirm
it with your setup, then I can provide more info if needed.  I'm new to
embedded development, and unsure what else to provide, or how to provide it, in
this case.  So some quick instructions would be great.
