What kernel version are you running? Exiting the programs that
are leaking memory will free up those resources. I have no problems
compiling koffice on my machine. And I compile it directly from
in KDE. In fact, I compiled it yesterday at the same time that
I compiled kdemultimedia, plus had netscape open, licq, and was
listening to music with x11amp. I have 160 megs RAM and only 64 megs
of swap. There should be no need to reboot your machine to release
the memory from a specific program.
