From 74570d413cbb5cede06a0183a91d3006f134bf6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kimball Murray Date: Sun, 29 Jan 2006 21:50:59 -0500 Subject: Input: mousedev - fix memory leak Apparently, "while true; do cat /dev/input/mice; done" causes an OOM in a short amount of time. Funny that nobody noticed, it actually is very easy to trigger just by switching between VT1 and VT7...
