    When is this going to fixed? eamon.sys is allocating but not releasing nonpaged kernel memory. growing about 50 megs a day until BSOD.

    version 5.2.15.1

    on XP

    Hello,

    could you please provide with full memory dump and SysInspector log?
    Please pack them and upload to safe location.
    You could send me PM with download details.

    Thank you.

    sure next time it locks up cause it uses ALL nonpaged memory I will.



    in the mean time I am running poolmon and driver verifier BOTH
    show eamon.sys never releasing memory.

    only been 48 hours since last restart and driver verifier is showing

    nonpaged bytes allocated 47607560
    nonpaged allocations 180486
    nonpaged peak bytes allocated 47607572
    nonpaged peak allocations 180488

    allocations are ALWAYS just 2 behind peak allocations
    never dropping.

    just in the time it took me to write the above it is now

    47650616
    180638
    47651808
    180640


    just grows and grows until all nonpaged is used up and system locks

    no fix came so went back to version 4. problem solved.

    Used driver verifier and i can see version 4 is releasing non paged memory
    where as version 5 and version 6 do not.

    Hello,

    Did you send in the full memory dump and SysInspector log that P_R_ requested?

    i tried but could not get a dump because this type of BSOD totally
    brings down the system to the point that no memory dump is created.

    system needs at least 16 megs nonpaged memory to make a dump file
    after BSOD but this problem uses all the nonpaged memory.

    been using version 4 for weeks and now nonpaged memory sits at 26 megs
    give or take and I can see version 4 releasing nonpaged memory unlike
    version 5 and 6, they never released.

    Hello,

    Have you tried manually triggering a dump when you noticed the problem occurring but before the system reached a critical level?
