Hi,

I updated my Mac yesterday to 10.9.1. When I sat down this morning in front of my Macbook Pro (mid-2012, 16GB, i7, SSD) I found an error like this:

All memory was sucked up by kernel_task. See here:

Uninstalled the driver using the uninstall package. Rebooted. Installed the 2.1 driver. Saw memory immediately balloon up. The system locked up. I had to power cycle.

Then everything started working ok. Memory usage by kernel_task is back to 1.04GB. 2nd screen is working fine.

There was a hell of a memory leak in your code.

I looked in my Downloads folder. I believe the version I was using was 2.1 Beta that was created on September 2nd at 4:45am. I tried to expand the driver pkg files but was unable to do that.

Device used: Monoprice USB 2.0 to DVI adapter. Been using it since 2011. Works great most of the time. No corruption issues, etc..
