           Summary: Heavy memory usage in mono 1.2.5.1
           Product: Mono: Runtime
           Version: 1.2
          Platform: i686
        OS/Version: Ubuntu
            Status: NEW

          Priority: P5 - None

Running the following testcase in mono 1.2.5.1 increases mem usage to 40meg
(and steeply rising) easily within seconds.
Running the testcase in mono < 1.2.5 hardly uses more than 10 megs and mem
usage also goes down a little sometimes.
Mem usage was determined using gnome systemmoninotor.
Replacing DirectoryInfo/FileInfo by
Directory.GetDirectories()/Directory.GetFiles() doesn't change much. 

What's also strange is that heap-shot only reports less than 5 megs of heap
usage..

Maybe something related to recursion?



TestCase: 


using System;
using System.IO;

namespace MemTest
{
        class MainClass
        {
        private static int counter;
                public static void Main(string[] args)
                {
            RecursiveDump(new DirectoryInfo("/"));

            Console.WriteLine("finished");
            Console.ReadKey();
                }

        private static void RecursiveDump(DirectoryInfo d) {
            string s;
            FileInfo[] f = d.GetFiles();
            for (int i = 0; i < f.Length; i++) {
                try {
//                    s = f[i].FullName;
                } catch {}
            }

            DirectoryInfo[] di = d.GetDirectories();
            for (int i = 0; i < di.Length; i++) {
                try {
                   counter++;
                   if (counter == 500) {
//                       Console.WriteLine(di[i].FullName);
                        counter = 0;
                   }

                   RecursiveDump(di[i]);
                } catch {}
            }
        }                   

        }
}
