Public bug reported:
This is using Kubuntu Edgy, fully updated as of this posting.
After a recent update (in the last 2 weeks or so) to edgy, various apps
have started leaking memory to the point of swapping on my 2 gb system
and eventually crashing. An example is firefox taking up 800 mb after a
day at work browsing docs and the request tracker, even if I close
everything back down to a single tab with Google loaded. I tried
downloading the official build from mozzila and it still does it.
Watching xrestop, I've noticed that apps like kicker will increase their
memory usage and then remain at a higher level when I do stuff like
mouseover icons.
This didn't happen with the initial release of edgy.
