Agreed - 933 Mb of virtual is getting up there.  Did you compile myth 0.19

Maybe its one of the linked libraries that is causing the problem.... but
the problem is definitely a memory leak.

Do you have anu other funny options on, like filters?

These are probably leftover errors that the frontend has created.  Just
