2.1.90-2 works just fine for me. I had tried unloading sound.o and
everthing else I could think of, and it still did not release memory.
The people that had real problems were those automatically loading the
modules and playing sounds comming at them from netscape. All mem got
eaten pretty fast.
Anyway, Thanks and Kudos to Alan, Bill, T. Sailer, D.Hinds, Scott C. and
oh yeah, Linus
