Cursor IDE
Describe the Bug
On more than one occasion I’ve noticed my server running out of free system memory during remote ssh sessions with cursor. It’s being done through the Remote-SSH extension, so this may be on them (Anysphere?), but regardless it’s been causing Cursor IDE to freeze.
In the attached screenshot there’s also some py code running, but this happens even without the analyze script running in the background. Notice the RES memory usage is much more reasonable than the cursor processes.
Steps to Reproduce
SSH for long enough and it will happen.
Expected Behavior
No freezing, and very low memory utilization.
