Massive Memory Leak found On WLAN Card Driver (BCMWLTRY.EXE)
1. I have pinned about a 2.4 GB per hour memory leak to some kind of code problem within BCMWLTRY on a 64Bit OS Dell Studio 17 laptop. I strongly suspect the same problem occurs with wireless card within a 32 bit Dell Vostro. The cumulative page faults added by BCMWLTRY to the commit charges of a 64 bit OS will crash the computer when the accumulate exceeds the current sum of the RAMM plus vitual Memory allocation. You can delay thos crashes by increasing your virtual memory maximum size. I have not been able to Kill the BCMWLTRY program using MS Process Explorer, but have been able to suspend it. The BCMWLTRY will reemerge after Process explorer kills it. The composite commit charge accumulation average rate dropped to just 36,000 K per hour with BCMWLTRY suspended.
2. Now what do I lose if I delete this program?
This website confirms there has been a memory leak associate with this program since at least 2007 http://www.file.net/process/bcmwltry.exe.html
