I'm running Dapper, but I remember seeing the problem on Breezy (and IIRC earlier) as well. AFAIK, I don't use any special plugin and I don't use the exchange connector. I tried running valgrind but not only is that incredibly slow, but there are hundreds of errors and leaks reported. The summary is: ==17420== ERROR SUMMARY: 10757 errors from 583 contexts (suppressed: 211 from 1) ==17420== malloc/free: in use at exit: 19,248,789 bytes in 292,773 blocks. ==17420== malloc/free: 4,834,032 allocs, 4,541,259 frees, 280,995,543 bytes allocated. ... ==17420== LEAK SUMMARY: ==17420== definitely lost: 26,492 bytes in 541 blocks. ==17420== indirectly lost: 67,047 bytes in 1,625 blocks. ==17420== possibly lost: 375,893 bytes in 557 blocks. ==17420== still reachable: 18,779,357 bytes in 290,050 blocks. ==17420== suppressed: 0 bytes in 0 blocks.
As I mentioned earlier, the problem only happens once every few weeks (but crashes my machine 50% of the time), so it's hard to reproduce. Unfortunately, it's just not feasible to run evolution under valgrind all the time. -- Runaway leak in composer https://launchpad.net/bugs/51662 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
