Bug#303236: memory leak in mozilla-thunderbird

[mehdi]

Package: mozilla-thunderbird
Version: 1.0-3
hi,
it seems my thunderbird can take up to half of the memory of my system. the 
problem seems to appear when I write a new mail and then close it without 
saving the mail.
a confirmation window appear and half of the memory of my system is taken. I 
don't have this problem if this confirmation window doesn't appear by saving my 
mail before closing it.
this is what top and free report after launching thunderbird : 
top :
PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
4838 dabest    16   0 92864  37m  31m S  3.3  9.9   0:05.73 mozilla-thunder

free :
           total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        386700     229512     157188          0       9624     106160

Swap:       248968      66540     182428

then I open a new mail and then close the window without sending it the confirmation window appears : 
top :
PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
4838 dabest    16   0  248m 195m  31m S  4.0 51.9   0:08.35 mozilla-thunder

free : 
            total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        386700     382136       4564          0       8296     100104
-/+ buffers/cache:     273736     112964
Swap:       248968      66540     182428


then I get back the memory only when I close thunderbird.
thanks.
regards,
mehdi
