Package: evolution
Version: 2.30.2-1
Severity: normal
I just upgraded my system from lenny to squeeze so I could see how it was
doing. Everything else is working great, but evolution had about brought
my system to it's knees. I think the source of the problem is one very
large mail folder that's about 1.6GB in size. (it WAS almost 2GB, but I've
managed to shrink it.)
What appears to happen is that evolution is gobbling up ALL the ram in my
system.
I have 3GB physical RAM with 3GB swap space. Well, just now, I've shut
down all my other applications and I'm seeing this:
kl...@lusitania:~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3029884 2928632 101252 0 7044 194756
-/+ buffers/cache: 2726832 303052
Swap: 3903784 3212280 691504
And memstat produces this:
1232k: PID 3296 (/usr/lib/evolution/2.30/evolution-alarm-notify)
250556k: PID 3319 (/usr/lib/evolution/e-calendar-factory)
17544k: PID 3329 (/usr/lib/evolution/e-addressbook-factory)
5738724k: PID 17244 (/usr/bin/evolution)
20k( 16k): /usr/bin/evolution 17244
(...etc..)
My hard drive is constantly thrashing and the system is so slow as to be
completely unusable. If it were me, I'd call this a release-critical bug
because anyone with large folders may get hit hard with this one.
Somehow, evolution needs not to just keep on grabbing more and more RAM
until it kills things. (I actually had the OS kill another application
earlier because there was no swap space left either...)
This error reproduces every time I launch evolution.
