Package: systemd
Version: 215-5+b1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
On investigating why my 8GB system, which was suddenly running extremely
slow and maxed out on swap, I discovered numerous systemd-logind
processes hogging RAM. Specifically, 41 processes using 4278148KB (or
roughly 4GB) of RAM.
Here is some output from top:
