Description

Q v0.9.0d89 (and v0.9.0a89) running on Mac OS X 10.4.11. Guest is NetBSD 4.0, with no X11. If left running, the VSZ/RSS of process "i386-softmmu" continues to grow, as seen in the following: 

bash$ while true; do vmmap 6616 | grep Mach | tail -1; sleep 10; done

I think this is related to the cpu meter. It should stop, if you remove the cpu meter from the toolbar.

It does, indeed. Thanks for the workaround!
