I'm afraid I'm not using Karmic. I'm on Jaunty right now, but, I *think* the bug still exists. If you want to test it, copy the photos I attached a few times and open, say, 10 of them in gimp keeping an eye on top for memory consumption. If the bug still exists, it should cause all available memory to be consumed in quite a short time. -- GIMP memory leak that doesn't release memory when exited. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396471 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
