pidgin hogs all system memory

Me too.
But a bit more weird.
Pidgin was in the background for an hour. (Normal memory consumption)
Then I started WinXP in vBox and ERROR: Host low memory. I thought
Java/Netbeans was eating up everything so i tried to close it: Click on
Close button... wait... 4 minutes I got unpatient and
I have Pidgin 2.6.6 and this just happened to me but I didn't offline
message anyone I joined a (fairly large) IRC room and it seemed to

I am having this same issue, and I also know how to reproduce it. This
issue occurs anytime you send an offline message to an MSN contact who

contact while she is online, then after she goes offline, send an
offline message to

What happened was:
I hadn't been using pidgin for a few days, but it had been idling in the
background for weeks with normal memory consumption. I then got a message from
a friend (MSN) and we exchanged a couple of
Same issue here, seems to be rather extreme.
When I went to bed last night my memory allocation for processes was
like 5%, when I woke up now the system was more or less non-responsive.
I have 8gb of system memory, should take some time for a little

My Pigdin App is running silently in the task bar and suddenly, it hogs
up memory upto 75% and the memory also spills over to the swap making
everything extremely slow. A pigdin memory leak issue on Hardy]

My system was almost completely unresponsive but I managed to switch to
console and I issued a top command to see tens of pidgin processes using
72% of the system memory (now that everything's fine I see less than 5%
memory usage)
pidgin 2.4.1
2.6.24-18-generic #1 SMP Wed
I recently realized that this bug was caused, when pulseaudio dies. In

bug occurs.
