STILL active on 16.04. WTF??? Ubuntu Gnome Flashback Metacity, drag and drop a
2Gb self-extracting exe (even renamed to .ex_) and the system grinds to a halt
as wrestool tries to do a completely unnecessary (and unwanted) activity.
Do not read the entire file into memory just to extract an icon.
Can confirm the issue on 12.10
Transferring large GOG.com install files from external hard drive to
~/Downloads. Is there a work around? I can't find it in here (and if it
is in here, I apologize for skipping the comment).

I created a preliminary patch that limits the amount of memory allocated
and amount of file portion read (I set the limit to 10M, can be changed
in wrestool/wrestool.h).
** Patch added: restrain a wrestool utility to allocate and read not more than
certain amount
p.s.: the patch is for iconutils version 0.30.0

Definitely confirmed for 12.04.
Eating about 600 MB of RAM on a 1000MB system is something I would *not* call
fixed.

Also confirmed for 12.04. I found this bug trying to look through some
old game CDs with large Windows exes on them. To unmount and remove the
CDs from my machine I had to repeatedly kill wrestool and md5sum, which
were between them hogging all resources and preventing umount from
working.

Hi, does this still affect any on 12.04?

This is an excerpt of the latest version of icoutils (0.29.1). More
specifically out of the wrestool/main.c file. This C-Code will be run
for every file you pass as an argument to wrestool:
/* get file size */
fi.name = argv[c];
fi.total_size =
I have been witnessing this problem on an up-to-date Maverick.
Downloading a large .exe from firefox via downthemall to the desktop
caused nautilus to try and thumbnail it. Watching top shows my RAM
shooting through the roof and causes my HDD to start swapping madly,
absolutely decimating my
So I spent a half-hour dealing with the thrashing-while-downloading
issue. The moment the download finished wrestool started up in full
force, taking an absurd amount of time (and resources) before it finally
wine-thumbnailed the .exe.
I'm going to take the liberty to set this back to confirmed.
Apologies, I don't have permission to alter the bug's status. I'd
appreciate if someone can confirm this behavior still exists. Sorry for
the spam.

That seems spurious, as the lucid and maverick versions are identical.
Are you sure the icon didn't just get cached?
