I noticed the 2.1.1xx kernels leak in the sound driver (SB16), every time
you unload the module(s) (kerneld/rmmod -a) you loose 64K or 32K. Perhaps
this is also in 2.0.35 with the new modular sound?

I wrote a small script which makes it easy for you to test the soundriver
on memleaks (just loading using and unloading sounddriver a lot, and print
meminfo). (i can post it i you want it).

Argh! All right, so how am I supposed to work with Linux when
everything's already been done?! Can't these people leave some
broken MSDOS like parts so there's problems left to solve!?....
